The PADI Master Scuba Diver™ rating is the highest non-professional level in recreational scuba diving. It recognizes divers who have combined training, experience, and commitment to become well-rounded, capable underwater explorers.
This isn’t a single course — it’s earned.
Master Scuba Diver divers have demonstrated:
Advanced training beyond entry-level certification
Experience across multiple dive environments
Commitment to safety, skill development, and continued education
It’s the difference between someone who dives occasionally and someone who dives with purpose.
To earn the Master Scuba Diver rating, you must have:
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification
PADI Rescue Diver certification
Five PADI Specialty Diver certifications
A minimum of 50 logged dives
Sentec Scuba can help you complete each requirement and guide you through the application process.

Submission of the Master Scuba Diver application

Specialty courses or Rescue Diver training

This is a rating, not a stand-alone course
Requirements may be completed in any order
Scheduling for required courses is coordinated individually
