Master Scuba Diver
The Master Scuba Diver rating is what every serious recreational scuba diver should be aiming for. It is the pinnacle of the PADI recreational dive ladder.
The MSD rating places you in an elite group of respected divers who have earned this rating through both significant experience and scuba training. Fewer than two percent of divers ever achieve this rating. When you flash your Master Scuba Diver card, people know that you’ve spent time underwater in a variety of environments and had your share of dive adventures.
FREE MSD application
At Aquatic Adventures, your PADI Master Scuba Diver application is FREE.
We believe that, once you've completed all the pre-requisites, you've definitely earned your Master Scuba Diver rating, and therefore you shouldn't have to pay more for it.
With all our Master Scuba Diver students, the PADI fees for your certification and your MSD card are waived.
