With 25 standard PADI Specialty Diver courses, and numerous distinctive specialties, you have lots to choose from - so get going.

We all know diving deeper sounds exciting to our student scuba divers. Just like yourself, divers are curious about mysterious things that may lurk in the deep. Maybe they want to visit a ship wreck lying at depth?

There are many reasons why divers may want to journey deeper than they have dived before and as a PADI Deep Diver specialty instructor you will be able to teach the skills, knowledge and techniques to enable your students to conduct safe no decompression dives right down to the recreational dive limit of 40m.

One of the biggest reasons for taking the PADI Deep Diver speciality is being able to access dive sites you would not be able to without it. Koh Tao boasts a great selection of suitable deep diving sites, ideal to conduct Deep diver training on, go deep and explore, as well as boasting a fantastic array of marine life. With dive sites such as Chumphon pinnacle, Southwest, Green Rock and Sail Rock, you will teach your students how to access new and exciting areas of the dive sites. Get ready for a totally new experience!

Cozumel Dive Academy offers our PADI Specialty Instructor courses on demand, year-round. You can complete a specialty instructor course in as little as one day, and you get to choose from the following PADI Specialties:

Love scuba diving? Want to share it with others on a whole new level? Take the PADI Divemaster course and do what you love to do as a career or side hustle. Scuba divers look up to divemasters because they are leaders who mentor and motivate others. As a divemaster, you not only get to dive a lot but also experience the joy of helping others have as much fun diving as you do.

The Blue Crew Divemaster program is unique and one we take a lot of pride in. As career development specialists, we know how important your professional foundation is, and this course is the most important step in building that foundation. The Blue Crew Divemaster course can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years, while most usually get through it in one local dive season (3-6 months). Our goal is not only to have you meet all PADI standards, but to have the skills and confidence to join any dive boat or dive center around the world with the skills and confidence to lead dives or assist in classes right away.

We also want to make sure all of your skills and knowledge are at a high level so you can enroll in the Instructor Development Course when you are ready. When Divemaster programs are rushed, or focused on simply checking boxes, we find those candidates tend to struggle in the Instructor Programs. We want you, at your own pace, to nail the Divemaster program so you are ready to lead dives, teach, assist or just plain kick butt in the water. We think you will love it, be challenged by it, and be extraordinarily proud of your accomplishment once you complete it.

The PADI Divemaster course teaches you to be a leader and take charge of dive activities. Through knowledge development sessions, waterskills exercises, and workshops, and hands-on practical assessment, you develop the skills to organize and direct a variety of scuba diving activities.

Your instructor may also offer the PADI Deep Diver and Search and Recovery Diver specialty diver courses along with your divemaster training to help you meet all requirements and to broaden your abilities.

Materials = Please contact us for pricing on materials. While there is a digital learning crewpack, we encourage all of our DM Candidates to invest in the paper copies of these materials, they are a great resource in your library, and will be utilized in all of your professional continuing education programs.

Remember, you don't need to memorise the whole thing. Unless you've got a photographic memory like my mate Edd who can literally recall every standard from every course of every training agency under the sun, you're setting yourself up for a hard time.

Most normal people can't memorise a 200 odd page document. And actually, it's often not the smartest thing to try. The Instructor Manual is a living, breathing document. It gets regularly updated and a new version comes out every January (get yourself to the PADI pros site if you've not downloaded the latest version yet).

Be careful that you aren't misremembering something or storing outdated information in that big ol' brain of yours. I recommend that you double-check - even if you're confident. I've fallen into this trap a number of times - enough to make me doubt myself regularly, so I always check to make sure! Nic's self-confidence 0 vs 1 actually teaching properly. That's still a win in my books!

Sometimes it's just little tweaks here and there - standards and procedures are regularly updated to reflect what's going in the diving industry. If new research brings something to light, or there's patterns emerging in dive incident data, the standards will change to reflect these.

A good example of this is the introduction of the emergency weight drop skill in the open water course (and later ReActivate). This was added because the data showed that a high proportion of diving incidents occurred where divers were found unresponsive on the bottom with air still in their tanks and their weight belts on. This suggests that the diver had an issue where they came to the surface, failed to establish buoyancy even though they had air to breathe and inflate and the rest is unfortunately history. The response was to build in extra education to the PADI system to prevent this problem - hence teaching students how to drop their weights in an emergency to help them float at the surface.

Look, I'm not totally craycray. Ok? Taken out of context, this article sounds like the ramblings of a madwoman (wtf has bread and butter and cherries got to do with the instructor manual anyway?!) Standards and Procedures is arguably the dullest topic you'll have to learn as a dive pro. Let me see if I can make it more interesting for you and it might actually become... fun?!
