Most of us choose to become Dive Instructors because we love diving. But learning to be a Specialty Instructor is a great way of improving your job prospects. What’s more, it’s ideal for continuing your own learning.
PADI Instructor Specialty
More scuba diving and more fun sharing what interests you – that’s what teaching specialty diver courses is all about. The best way to learn how to make your specialty diver courses really special is to take a specialty instructor course together with PADI Course Director Johan and his team. Specialty instructor courses provide teaching tips and hands-on experience that you can implement right away. With 25 standard PADI Specialty Diver courses, and numerous distinctive specialties, you have lots to choose from – so get going.
All PADI Instructors will benefit from taking specialty instructor training courses, especially those who are ready to step up to the Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating, which requires at least five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications.
You’ll learn new techniques to add to the experience you already have in a specialty area and have fun fine-tuning your skills and teaching methods. Plus, you’ll get great ideas for marketing your specialty diver courses.
Be a certified PADI Divemaster or have an equivalent rating. Be at least 18 years old at the start of training. * Submit medical clearance for diving signed by a physician, attesting to fitness to dive.
Specialty training is usually in combination with our IDCs but we have no problem teach Specialties at any time of the year.
