Do you have a passion for scuba diving? Or keen to give it a try? Like the idea of getting paid to work as a dive instructor?
If you are wondering how do I become a scuba diving instructor or embark on this as a career and you are just getting started, you will need to take instructor courses.
To become a scuba instructor with PADI you need to have been certified as an entry-level diver with any agency for at least six months before you can take the instructor course. Also you need to have an Advanced diver certification, a rescue certification, and a Divemaster or Dive Leader certification. They do not have to be PADI certifications, but it helps once you start teaching PADI courses!
