Instructor is the second PADI professional level, the next level up from Divemaster. Instructors focus on teaching dive skills and are needed to conduct a broad range of programmes for both new and experienced divers.
Instructor courses are run every month and take 2 weeks.
If you are not yet a Divemaster, please see our Divemaster page as you will need to reach this level first before moving on to Instructor.
