PADI Specialty Instructor

Teach more of the PADI curriculum

As a PADI Specialty Instructor, you can pass on your particular diving passions to students.
Love diving a bit deeper? Train to teach divers to 40 metres.
Can’t get enough of enriched air diving? Become a Nitrox Specialty Instructor and introduce EANx to your students. 

 

Being a Specialty Instructor is also your path to a higher instructor rating. If you take five specialties during our Specialty Instructor course, you can register as a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) after you’ve taught 25 students. 

 

Our Specialty Instructor course is conducted over two to three days and is comprised of open water dives and some classroom work. 

We offer a full range of PADI Specialty Instructor ratings including DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) and Sidemount.
