PADI Master Scuba Diver course
PADI Master Scuba Diver Certification is available to anyone who wants to teach scuba divers to others. It gives the new instructor a solid knowledge foundation and prepares them for the Instructor Exam. Candidates who successfully complete the instructor specialty training have a higher chance of passing it. Master Scuba Diver training is an essential part of any scuba diving career. The course comprises three parts: theory, emergency care, and practical.
Requirements
Master Scuba Diver certification is not an easy task. It requires hard work and patience. You have the option of a PADI "Internship" to help you get there. The 'Practical Assessment' portion of the Divemaster course involves four separate sections with multiple performance requirements. Candidate scores are based on the following criteria. Practical Assessments evaluate professionalism, etiquette as well as knowledge of safety diving.
You have many options for courses
There are some things to consider when choosing a school or program for master diving. You'll need a diving license to dive, of course, but you can choose the specific course you want to complete, such as scuba, snorkeling, or deep diving. Also, you'll need to learn how to use a camera to control your buoyancy. While scuba diving is not difficult, learning to use a camera can be tricky, even for beginners. No matter what your instructor might tell you, dive to your limits.
Exam
PADI Master diving exams require candidates to demonstrate their scuba skills. There will be a variety of skills required. Candidates will need to keep track of their progress before, during, after, and after each dive. Candidats must pass the exam with a score at least four on each skill.

Release of liability
For clients to participate in scuba dive excursions, they must sign the Master diving Liability Release. This is vital as a diver can sue the company that made the equipment or the rental company who provided it if the equipment malfunctions. Ralph Huntziner has filed a California class action lawsuit against Aqua Lung. The Aqua Lung dive computer malfunctioned, causing the diver to suffer serious injuries and even death. Divers have vital information such as air time remaining and pressure in their air tanks. In the end, a lawsuit was filed in class and a settlement reached at millions of dollars.
