Specialty Instructor Training / MSDT

DESCRIPTION

Once you have become an OWSI it is vital to distinguish yourself from the pack so you can find the best possible vacancy.  One way to do this is showing employers how serious you are about your future chosen career.  With a number of Specialty Instructor ratings from the start you will become a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (five specialty instructor ratings & 25 student certifications) more quickly.  You will be more valuable to yourself, employers and student divers.

By choosing between five and six specialties appropriate to where you will be teaching (and mastering them correctly) you immediately increase your employability as a newly qualified Instructor.

This rating is the next step up the professional ladder and is a prerequisite for IDC Staff Instructor as well as for many TecRec Instructor ratings.
