You are in the Basic Scuba Discussions Forum: This forum has special rules. This forum is intended to be a very friendly, "flame free zone" where divers of any skill level may ask questions about basic scuba topics without fear of being accosted. Please show respect and courtesy at all times. Remember that the inquirer is looking for answers that they can understand. This is a learning zone and consequently, any off-topic or overly harsh responses will be removed.
As to the topic, it is the same as any certification, the recognition of a certain level of training completed. But theres tons of threads on this already if youll do a search.
So how is "master diver" a basic question?
