Well, the academics are comparable and yet, not so. It's really apples and oranges.
The NAUI MAster Scuba Diver exam consists of 100 questions. Topics addressed are: 1. Equipment. 2. Environment. 3. Physics. 4. Medicine & Physiology. 5. Decompression & Recompression. 6. Diving Techniques. 7. Specialized Diving Activities.
and then there is..
The NAUI Divemaster exam is 80 questions. Topics are: 1. Leadership fundamentals 2. Leadership roles. 3. Accident prevention and problem management. 4. Dive Tables & Decompression theory. 5. Risk Management & Legal aspects. 6. Boating and seamanship. 7. Conservation and environmental awareness.
Some readdressing of some topics, yet, clear differences. Academically, MSD will be the most challenging due especially for the physics (gas laws, formulas, etc).

Thanks for your replies. I have finished the academic portion of my master course. I would like to continue with my education since I would like to help out with classes and so on and so forth. I was just curious if the academics were comparable or more in depth. I really have enjoyed the master class and would recommend it to everyone.
