Talk to us about your pathMinimum age 12, PADI Open Water + Advanced Open Water + Rescue Diver (or equivalents), a minimum of 5 completed specialty courses, and at least 50 logged dives.
Most divers combine Deep Diver, Night Diver, Fish Identification, Wreck Diver, Enriched Air Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Equipment Specialist, AWARE Shark Conservation and Project AWARE — pick any 5 that suit you.
There's no single course to book — talk to us and we'll map out which specialties (see our full specialty list) get you there fastest.
No — Master Scuba Diver (MSD) is an earned rating, not a single course. You reach it by combining courses and dives you've already done. Once you have Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, 5 specialty certifications and 50 logged dives, we recognise you as an MSD.
Minimum age 12, PADI Open Water + Advanced Open Water + Rescue Diver (or equivalents), at least 5 completed specialty courses, and a minimum of 50 logged dives.
Any 5 from our full specialty list work. Popular combinations include Deep Diver, Night Diver, Fish Identification, Wreck Diver, Enriched Air Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Equipment Specialist, AWARE Shark Conservation and Project AWARE. See our full specialty list for options.
Classroom and pool sessions run at our Gauteng facility, with dives completed at inland sites like Bass Lake and Miracle Waters, plus our coastal trips such as Sodwana Bay and Aliwal Shoal — great opportunities to log dives and knock out specialties.
Because MSD is built from courses you complete individually rather than booked as one package, pricing depends entirely on which specialties and dives you still need. Get in touch or visit our booking page and we'll map out your path and a quote.
