Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites for MSDT?

You need to already hold PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI), have 5 PADI Specialty Instructor certifications, and have certified a minimum of 25 divers.

Is MSDT a fixed-length course?

Not exactly — MSDT is earned once you hold the required Specialty Instructor ratings and diver-certification count, so the path and timeline depend on which specialty ratings you already have. We'll assess where you stand and map out what's left.

What does becoming MSDT open up for me?

You'll be able to teach multiple specialty courses, improve your employability as an instructor, grow your income potential, and open the pathway toward PADI Master Instructor and technical diving instruction (Tec 50, DSAT Trimix).

Where is MSDT training run?

We're a PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre based in Gauteng, so classroom and skills work happen at our home base, with specialty teaching practice arranged at inland sites and, where relevant, on our coastal trips.

How much does MSDT cost?

MSDT is R5,995, the same rate for members and non-members. Exactly which specialty instructor ratings you still need depends on what you already hold — contact us and we'll map out the path and confirm what's included.
