Master Diver is SSI's top recreational recognition level, and it's earned the old-fashioned way: through training and dive time, not a single class. To qualify, you need at least 50 logged dives, a Diver Stress and Rescue certification, and four additional specialty certifications. Get-N-Wet Scuba makes the path simple with our SSI Master Diver Bundle, which combines four scuba diving specialties with Diver Stress & Rescue into one structured program.

Complete all five courses, log 50 open water dives by the end of the last one, and you'll automatically earn SSI Master Diver recognition, plus every specialty certification you completed along the way. This is a great option for divers who already know they want to build a well-rounded skill set, whether that's navigation, deep diving, night diving, or any combination of specialties that fits how and where they dive.

What to expect

• Four scuba diving specialty certifications of your choice
• Diver Stress & Rescue certification
• Automatic SSI Master Diver recognition upon completing 50 logged open water dives
• Every specialty certification earned along the way, in addition to Master Diver status
