Assistant Instructor

Diving professionals have more fun! Assistant Instructors work in partnership with PADI Instructors to teach diving knowledge and skill development and may conduct several PADI programs independently. With further training they may also teach non-diving specialty courses, as well as the Emergency First Response program.

Benefits of Assistant Instructor Certification

  • Develop teaching skills
  • Assist with, organize, and supervise student learning
  • Work in partnership with PADI instructors
  • Conduct several PADI programs independently
  • Teach non-diving specialty courses and Emergency First Response

Prerequisites

  • To enroll in a PADI Assistant Instructor course, an individual must:
  • Be certified as a PADI Divemaster or leadership level with another diver training organization
