Why Become a PADI Master Scuba Diver?

As a Master Scuba Diver your experience will open a new level of confidence whether you're diving local wrecks, quarries, reefs or exploring exciting dive environments around the world. Achieving recognition as a 'black belt' of recreational scuba diving is amongst the most sought after diving accolades.

Worked Example on achieving Master Scuba Diver
Complete your Drysuit Speciality when you do your Open Water certification with us, this saves you money as we train all of our divers in a drysuit and therefore you are working towards your drysuit speciality without realising it. If you choose to integrate your drysuit speciality with your open water certification not only do you achieve your first speciality but you make £'s of savings.
Then complete your Enriched Air Speciality - this is a dry course and great to keep you learning during the winter

Now complete your Advanced Open water certification, this is a FIVE dive certification but because you already hold the Drysuit and Enriched Air Speciality you are now the holder of TWO specialities which can count towards your Advanced open water. Now only leaving you with THREE dives to complete - DEEP, NAVIGATION and one other of your choice - all can be done on one open water training day and we have a three dive Advanced package again making £'s of savings/
Next - Rescue Course - take the Rescue Deluxe package option and you will complete your Rescue Course, the first aid pre-requisites and an additional speciality the Emergency Oxygen Provider
You now have THREE of your FIVE specialities

This is where it gets tricky
Use your next two speciality based on the diving YOU want to do, not what a dive centre might want you to do for easy of logistics and staffing, after all this is your training and your diving.
If you want to be a UK diver, then you should consider the SMB speciality, you will need to launch one if diving offshore, learning the types of SMB and reel combinations through our course will help you decide what equipment is best for you
Remember diving is not just about training, join one of our boat trips and add on your Boat Speciality - this will allow you to learn the ins and outs of safe boat diving and we have always offer this speciality at a reduced price if on one of our trips
