Specialty Instructor Course

During your PADI Specialty Instructor Training course you will learn insider tips and tricks on scheduling, overcoming learning difficulties and student diver control so that you may offer your students the best possible learning experiences when you teach your own courses.

We recommend that you look at earning the five most popular specialties; PADI Deep Diver Instructor, PADI Enriched Air Diver Instructor, PADI Underwater Navigator Instructor, PADI Night Diver Instructor, PADI Wreck Diver Instructor. But course options are quite endless with our Course Director who holds over 20 PADI Specialty Instructor Trainer ratings.
