| Dive more, have more fun and teach about your favourite subjects.
Specialty instructor courses provide valuable teaching tips for meeting the requirements of the course. You can choose from any of the 27 standard specialty courses that PADI offers along with distinctive specialty courses your Course Director may offer. Having five specialty instructor ratings is a prerequisite for the Master Scuba Diver rating.
Don’t see a specialty on a subject that interests you? Write your own specialty! It’s easy and it gets you teaching scuba divers about things you like.
- As a PADI Specialty Instructor, challenge your students to become Master Scuba Divers
- Increase your marketability as a PADI Professional
You have three ways to become a PADI Specialty Instructor:
1. With a Course Director
2. Use your experience to apply directly to PADI
3. Write your own outline
