The pre-requisites for the Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating are five Specialty Instructor ratings and 25 student certifications within any level of the PADI System of Diver Education. During the Ban’s Internship Training you will not take a MSDT Preparation Course you will actually certify 25 students and reach the rating of Master Scuba Diver Trainer!

Once the preparation course is completed, candidates can begin their internship straight away (see later in this guide for details).
