Become a Master – Join the Elite
The Master Scuba Diver (MSD) rating is the most prestigious non-professional level in recreational diving. It’s a recognition of your training, logged dives, and commitment to excellence underwater.
At Chang Diving, our certified instructors guide you step by step toward earning this recognition – whether you’re following the PADI or SDI educational path.
*Please note: Master Scuba Diver is a certification level awarded by the respective training agency (PADI or SDI) upon meeting all program requirements. We offer full guidance and course support as certified instructors.
