Upgrade your skills and enjoy the great diving at the same time with PADI Specialty Instructor courses. The more Specialty courses you are qualified to teach, the greater your marketability to potential dive school employers.

By taking your specialty instructor courses with our Course Directors you’ll get valuable teaching tips and suggestions as to how to make the course run smoothly when you start to teach the diver-level specialty to your students. With 5 or more Instructor specialty ratings you’ll be able to challenge your dive students to earn the prestigious Master Scuba Diver rating.

Attending a Specialty Instructor Training course is highly recommended. These courses provide valuable hands-on training, technique demonstrations, course marketing information, and open water practical hands-on training. Your Course Director will ensure you’re up to teaching standard and go through any areas you may still be unsure about before you teach the specialty course to your own student divers.
