Sounds Awesome but what is a PADI Master Scuba Diver?

A PADI Master Scuba Diver is certainly someone who takes their diving seriously. To achieve this awesome sounding certification you have to put in a lot of time and effort and show exemplary dive skills.

You’ll need five PADI specialties to begin. There’s a lot specialties to choose from and your selection will depend on your location and your favoured dive environments. For most we would suggest that Enriched Air Nitrox and Deep are the most useful. However you may want to fine tune your buoyancy with Peak Performance Buoyancy or if you have a spot where you can regular dive at night then Night Diver would be one for you. If you dive in cold water, Dry Suit and Ice Diver would be the obvious choices. Make sure you fit the PADI Master Scuba Diver specialties to fit your requirements.
All The PADI Specialties

The full list is as follows:

Altitude Diver

Cavern Diver

As you can see it’s a very long list so there will be something for everyone. For obvious reasons and some not so obvious reasons we can’t facilitate all of of them at Local Dive Thailand. Some are simply not practical and others we simply don’t have the qualified staff. So it’s better to just ask us first, if you ask about the Ice Diver course in Thailand you will be ignored…
Still A Little More For You To Do

If you’ve completed the five specialties, to qualify for the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating you’ll also have to complete the PADI Rescue Diver course and logged a minimum of 50 dives. Your local dive center can then send off your application to PADI and for US$ 50 (sometimes PADI promote for free) you can have the most awesome sounding certification in recreational SCUBA!

If you feel like you’re ready to attain the highest non professional rating from PADI then get in touch with Local Dive Thailand and talk to our friendly and Knowledgable staff.
