Travel and work around the world

with PADI Course Director Larry Wedgewood

Becoming a dive instructor is about more than just teaching skills. While it's important for students to develop dive skills and abilities, the dive industry is looking for instructors who provide more.

In addition to scuba training expertise, dive instructors must cultivate business acumen, mentorship, safety advocacy, and environmental stewardship. Mastery of business development, understanding the evolving needs of today’s divers, maintaining equipment, and effectively leveraging technology will set them apart in the dive industry. These skills not only enhance their professional standing but also position them to make a meaningful and positive impact on the diving community and the environment.

Dive professionals are the stewards of the dive industry, equipped with a broad range of skills and knowledge. 

Becoming a world-class dive instructor is a transformative journey—one that requires mastering a diverse skill set and embracing a deep commitment to the aquatic realm.
