PADI Instructor Trainers (Course Directors) are some of the dive industry’s most experienced and elite scuba instructors.

Parts of the PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDC) will be easy for some and challenging for others. PADI Divemaster course is the first step to becoming a PADI professional.

PADI Divemasters typically assist dive instructors with classes and lead certified divers on underwater adventures. If they work at a dive shop, Divemasters often fill scuba tanks, load scuba gear, check-in divers and help with other essential tasks. Divemasters may also:

  • Assist PADI Instructors with training and non-training diving activities
  • Lead Discover Local Diving programs
  • Accompany certified PADI Scuba Divers and Open Water Divers on dives

PADI professional scuba instructors work all over the world in a variety of jobs. How much you earn as a PADI dive instructor depends on where and what you are teaching.

For example:

  • You might live and work on a liveaboard boat (where meals are included, and you also have a place to live).
  • At a local dive shop, you might get paid extra for selling scuba gear or repairing scuba equipment.
  • Experienced scuba instructors with a boat captain’s license can make very good money working on a superyacht and teaching private scuba lessons.
  • It’s also important to consider the personal benefits of completing Divemaster or dive instructor training. One of the most common comments from PADI Pros is how their training helped them succeed in the “real world”.
