{{short description|Senior diver rating in US Navy }}

The United States Navy master diver is the highest warfare qualification obtainable by a member of U.S. Navy diving community. A master diver is an enlisted person who typically has the most experience and knowledge on all aspects of diving and underwater salvage.

Designation

A master diver is qualified to wear the master diver badge. An enlisted member who obtains master diver status is authorized to have the warfare designator (MDV) after his/her rating designator. For example, if Davy Jones is a navy diver chief petty officer (master diver), then his title/name would be written as NDC (MDV) Jones. The title "Master Diver" is customarily used as a form of address rather than the individual's rank.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}}
