More diving and more fun sharing something that interests you - that's what teaching specialty diving courses is all about. The best way to learn how to really do your specialty scuba courses is to do a specialty instructor course with your local PADI Course Director. Specialty Instructor Courses provide tips and practical experience that you can apply immediately. With 25 standard PADI Specialty Diver courses, and numerous signature specialties, you're spoiled for choice - so go ahead.


All PADI Instructors will benefit from taking Specialty Instructor Training courses, especially those prepared to advance to the Master Scuba Diver™ Trainer (MSDT) level which requires at least five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications.


PADI Assistant Instructors, Instructor-in-Training Candidates, and PADI Divemasters may participate in some Specialty Instructor courses. Some specialties have additional prerequisites and exit requirements - ask your PADI Course Director for more detailed information.
