One of the most enjoyable aspects of the course is working alongside our team of instructors and divemasters; this gives you a valuable insight into the workings of a busy and professional dive operation. You will really feel like a part of the team!

The course runs part-time over 2-3 months, and you can take optional extra ‘experience’ weeks to practice your skills! There is a lot of theory involved, so make sure you have prepared your theory before the course starts.

The minimum age is 18 and you must be a PADI Rescue Diver or have another qualifying certification. You must have logged over 20 dives to start divemaster training and 60 dives to be certified.

What’s next? If you plan to work as a full or part time dive professional, then PADI Instructor training will provide the next challenge and make you even more employable. But even if you don’t, Instructor training provides a great insight into the dive industry and teaches skills useful beyond dive instruction.
