MASTER SCUBA DIVER TRAINER PREP COURSE
More scuba diving and more fun sharing what interests you – that’s what teaching specialty diver courses is all about. The best way to learn how to make your specialty diver courses really special is to take a specialty instructor course from Maui Diving. Specialty instructor courses provide teaching tips and hands-on experience that you can implement right away. With 25 standard PADI Specialty Diver courses, and numerous distinctive specialties, you have lots to choose from – so get going.
All PADI Instructors will benefit from taking specialty instructor training courses, especially those who are ready to step up to the Master Scuba Diver™ Trainer (MSDT) rating, which requires at least five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications. This is where MSDT Prep at Maui Diving comes in. Right after IDC we train you to teach 5 Specialty courses and you get 1 FREE (O2 or Enriched Air Nitrox)! Being able to teach more course other than just Open Water gets you to your 25 certifications required for MSDT quicker!
PADI Assistant Instructors, instructor candidates in training, and PADI Divemasters are eligible to enroll in certain specialty instructor courses. Some specialties have additional prerequisites and exit requirements – ask your PADI Course Director for details.
