The highest non-professional certification in recreational diving. a structured package that covers the required courses and saves vs. booking each separately.
SSI Master Diver requires five specialties, 50 logged dives.
Two are mandatory: Deep Diving and Diver Stress & Rescue. Add three specialties of your choice. The Master Diver Package brings the required courses together with integrated planning and package pricing. Your instructor designs the progression based on which certifications you already hold. This is the top of the recreational diving pyramid, and the natural point where serious recreational divers often start thinking about what comes next.
Most people who get certified at home spend their first real dive trip adjusting. Different visibility, colder water, unfamiliar conditions. On Bonaire, your training dives happen on the same reef you'll dive independently afterward. You get certified and comfortable in one trip. Nothing to re-learn the next time you come back.
Step by step training designed to build real confidence underwater.
