Once you are a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor you will be able to teach all the PADI core courses. But you will want to continue your education and branch out to teach other courses. Not only will this make for a more varied and interesting teaching experience for you, but it will increase your marketability to potential employers and enable you to sell more courses to your students.

After certification as a PADI Instructor we can offer you PADI Specialty Instructor Courses. Choose from a wide range of Specialty Instructor ratings including:

Enriched Air Nitrox
Digital Underwater Photography
Wreck
Deep
Night
Oxygen Provider
Aware Fish ID
Boat
Drift
Equipment
Multilevel
Naturalist
Search and Recovery

and more...

We also offer a unique Specialty Course:
Reef Shark Awareness Specialty Instructor.

This is an exclusive course available only at TSD. It will give you something special to offer prospective employers and students alike.

You can also participate in our MSDT Prep program. You will do 5 Specialty Instructor ratings with us and soon be ready to apply for the PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, the next level of Instructor rating from PADI.

Short of time/keen to start soon? For anyone who is eager to start on the training, once you have completed your AI, OWSI or IDC, even before you have completed your IE, you are eligible to train for and apply for any non-diving instructor rating and Digital Underwater Photography Instructor.

Once you have your MSDT rating you are able to continue your education and take the PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course.
