PADI DSD Leader

There is a question that I’ve been asked a couple of times recently. It’s:
“Do Instructors get certification recognition for DSD Leader?”
Actually up until a few weeks ago, I didn’t know the answer myself. Which is why I thought I’d mention it here.
The answer is.. Yes they do! A DSD leader certification counts towards MSDT and Master Instructor. So if you’ve converted any DM’s recently, you could be closer to your next level than you think.
