Rescue is required for Master Diver. I think "MASTER DIVER" is somewhat of a useless rating. I think it's more about getting the extra money. However, if you already have 4 specialties, and wanted to get rescue, then you'd get a Master Diver Card vrs. an AOW Card. That's how I got mine. I was taking the classes for AOW, and when it came time to order my card, my instructor asked me if I wanted to take any more courses. I told him no, but that I did take a PADI equipment course years ago. He said that would count, so he ordered me a Master Diver Card instead of an AOW Card. I then took the Aqua Lung Equipment Service courses, so I guess I'd have enough credits anyway. I'm surprised they don't show any Cards for their new tech stuff.
