REAL EXPERIENCE
​
Because PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors are only eligible to become Master Scuba Diver Trainers after they have certified 25 students, we offer our MSDT candidates the chance to shadow real life recreational courses with our most seasoned instructors. These people have years and years of experience and will give you inside tips and tricks on scheduling, overcoming learning difficulties and student diver control. They will allow you to conduct certain portions of the course (or all of the course, depending on your comfort levels) under their supervision so you have a chance of working with real life students before you start your teaching career.
​
At their discretion and depending on your effort and involvement, they will even let you conduct the final skills assessment, effectively making you the certifying instructor. This way you don’t just get started on your way to the certifications needed for the Master Scuba Diver Trainer ranking, but it gives you documented teaching experience that shows potential employers that you know how to conduct a class. There’s no substitute for experience and employers know this!
