NAUI Master Scuba Diver

Course Overview & Training Objectives

Unlike other agencies where Master Diver is a recognition card, the NAUI Master Scuba Diver is a formal, demanding 23-hour academic and 8-dive field curriculum that serves as the non-leadership academic equivalent to the NAUI Divemaster course.
