The highest recreational rating - earned by completing Advanced, Rescue and five specialties. Join the best of the best; we'll build your personal path to Master Scuba Diver.
Master Scuba Diver is the highest recreational rating in PADI — proof of real diving experience and range. It isn't a single course: you earn it by holding Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver, completing five PADI Specialty courses, and logging at least 50 dives. We'll help you plan the specialties that suit your diving — from Deep, Wreck and Nitrox to Night and Navigation — and guide you to the 50-dive milestone.
Because it combines several certifications and 50 logged dives, Master Scuba Diver is usually built over more than one trip. Tell us what you've already completed and we'll map the quickest route for you.
There's no deadline on Master Scuba Diver — many divers enjoy collecting the specialties over several holidays with us. Each course adds a genuinely useful skill, so by the time you earn the rating you're a well-rounded, confident diver ready for almost any Red Sea site.
No — it's a rating you qualify for by holding Advanced and Rescue, completing five specialties and logging 50 dives.
It depends on what you've already done. Many divers build it across a couple of trips; we'll plan the specialties around your goals.
All your logged dives count. Bring your logbook and we'll confirm where you stand and what's left.
