MSDT Internship

At Scuba Center Asia, we're all about helping you reach new heights in your dive career. The Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating is one of the highest levels of achievement for PADI instructors. It signifies a significant level of experience and proficiency in teaching various scuba diving specialties. To earn the MSDT rating, a dive instructor must first become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) and then complete additional training in at least five PADI specialty courses.

Once the instructor (you) has taught a specified number of students in each specialty and received positive evaluations, they can apply for the MSDT rating. Achieving MSDT status demonstrates a commitment to continuing education and skill development in the diving industry.

As an MSDT, you'll be in high demand, not just here at Scuba Center Asia, but at dive centers and resorts worldwide. This rating opens doors to exciting opportunities, allowing you to expand your teaching repertoire, and advance your career. As an MSDT you get jobs as a dive shop manager or dive resort operation manager etc.

The Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating is your next big step in your PADI Dive Career. A few Q&A's:

Q: Why is the MSDT rating important as a dive instructor?

Q: What is included in the MSDT internship?

A: At Scuba Center Asia Lembongan, you'll team up with one of our experienced dive instructors.
