To apply for the Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating, an instructor must:

• Be a renewed PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

• Be certified as a PADI Specialty Instructor for five or more specialty ratings. (Peak Performance Buoyancy, Project AWARE and AWARE — Coral Reef Conservation do not count toward the required five.)
