The Specialty instructor courses provide valuable teaching tips and hands-on experience for meeting the requirements of the course. With your Course Director, you will be guided on how to best teach the courses and to maximise the students development.
You can choose from any of the 25 standard specialty courses that PADI offers along with distinctive specialty courses your Course Director may offer.
Having five specialty instructor ratings is a prerequisite for the Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating.

It’s not just certified Instructors that can take the Specialty Instructor training courses. PADI Assistant Instructors, instructor candidates in training and PADI Divemasters are able to take the next step in certain specialty instructor courses.
