Why Become a Master Scuba Diver Trainer?

As a new instructor, gaining experience and credibility is essential. Dive centers are more likely to hire instructors who are not only certified to teach the PADI core courses but also offer a range of specialties to their customers.

The MSDT rating is awarded to PADI Instructors who have:

• Certified 25 PADI divers, and

• Earned at least 5 PADI Specialty Instructor certifications

By completing the MSDT Prep Program at Oceans 5, you’re fast-tracking your qualifications. You’ll leave with the ability to teach multiple specialty courses—and more importantly, the confidence and experience to do so.

It Starts With the Right Question

Before jumping into the MSDT Program, ask yourself one simple but critical question:

“Which specialty courses would I like to teach?”

Too often, new instructors are pushed into specialty trainings they don’t enjoy or plan to teach—just to tick a box. But here’s the truth: if you don’t like knots or search patterns, you won’t talk about them. If you’re not talking about them, you’re not selling them. It’s that simple.

That’s why at Oceans 5 Gili Air, we encourage every instructor candidate to choose specialties they are truly interested in. After all, the MSDT program is your program—not the Course Director’s.

Real Experience, Not Just a Certification

Unlike some dive centers that treat the MSDT program as just another paperwork process, Oceans 5 takes a hands-on, workshop-based approach. You’ll work directly with the Course Director in small groups—learning how to teach each specialty in real-life situations, not simulations. You’ll also conduct the required dives for each specialty, gaining comfort in briefing, guiding, and debriefing students on topics beyond the Open Water and Advanced Diver curriculum.

You’ll leave not just with additional certifications, but with real teaching experience and confidence in how to present, promote, and run each specialty course.

A Customized MSDT Journey

The MSDT Prep Program at Oceans 5 Gili Air follows every PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). After you’ve passed your Instructor Examination, you can continue straight into the MSDT preparation—a seamless transition that helps solidify your teaching skills while you’re still fresh from the IDC.

Even better, if you join the free 2–3 week Instructor Internship Program afterward, you’ll assist on actual PADI courses taught by experienced instructors. This adds to your 25 certifications and gives you the experience many dive shops look for when hiring new instructors.
