 PADI Assistant Instructor

PADI Assistant Instructors are dive educators who assist with, organize and supervise knowledge development, confined water and open water activities. Assistant instructors work in partnership with PADI Instructors to provide student divers with quality knowledge and skill development during PADI programs. The teaching skills assistant instructors develop during their training allows them to independently conduct several PADI programs, and with further training they may also teach non-diving specialty courses, as well as the Emergency First Response program.
