Course overview

MSDT Prep is a Course Director-led preparation programme rather than a standardised PADI course. It is designed to help new instructors broaden their teaching range, gain relevant specialty experience and work purposefully towards the MSDT rating.

The PADI MSDT rating also requires at least 25 PADI diver certifications. James will help you plan the most useful specialty combination for your goals.
