Course options
There are some things to consider when choosing a school or program for master diving. A diving license is required to dive. You can also choose to specialize in scuba, snorkeling or deep diving. You'll also need to know how to use a camera and control your buoyancy. While scuba diving is not difficult, learning to use a camera can be tricky, even for beginners. No matter what the instructor might say, always do your best to dive to your maximum ability.
Exam
PADI Master Dive Exam candidates will need to demonstrate their scuba skills. Each candidate will have a different set of skills to show. Candidates will have to monitor their own progress during, after, or before a dive. To pass this exam, candidates must demonstrate each skill with a score of four or higher.

Liability releases
Dive operators and instructors must sign the Master Diving Liability Release in order to permit their clients to dive. This form is crucial because, in the event of a diving equipment failure, a diver could sue the company or rental company that supplied it. One recent example of this is a California class action lawsuit filed by Ralph Huntziner against Aqua Lung. Aqua Lung's dive computer failed, causing serious injuries to the diver and even death. The device informs divers of the remaining air time and pressure. The settlement was reached for millions of dollar and a class action lawsuit was brought.
