open water dives in settings that will test your

expanding your diving capabilities. Then proudly
wear the most coveted and respected patch in
recreational diving - that of the NAUI Master Scuba
Diver.OVERVIEW
The course is an continuing education
certification course for divers who wish to increase
their understanding and enjoyment of diving.
Emphasis is on student participation and practical
application of knowledge in open water after a
classroom discussion of subjects. This course is an
excellent progression toward NAUI Leadership roles.
Some subject areas are a review and expansion of
material from previous courses. Each subject area is
a progression in study not a definitive study in the
particular diving activity. However, instructors
will specify performance objectives for related
course diving activities, for example, during a
navigation dive the student will swim a reciprocal
course to within 10 feet (3 m) of its origin.
The course may be divided and taught in sections
with the student’s Diving/Training Log being signed
off for each activity until all requirements are
met.
Upon successful completion of this course,
graduates are considered competent to engage in open
water diving activities without supervision,
provided the diving activities and the areas dived
approximate those of training.
