Are you dreaming hanging up your suit and tie, leaving the office behind and reaching for your wetsuit, suntan lotion and towel and looking for a life in the sun and the sea ???

Are you leaving college eager to leap into the excitement and adventure of the underwater world . planning on diving your way around the world ??

Or do you just fancy working in an industry which allows you to meet people, go places, and see things most people only ever dream of .. ???

Many people work part time in the dive industry not only do they have their "desk job" - but as a PADI instructor they can earn extra money, teach their friends and family, and of course meet people, go places and see things most people only ever dream of . !!!

Whatever your reasons for choosing to become a PADI Instructor you will find that it not only allows you to find work almost anywhere in the world .

.. but also that it is way of life . !!

We have put together the following Career Preparation Packages to help you reach your goal in a comprehensive, professional manner - yet taking cost, experience and time into account.

Phase III - The Advanced Instructor Phase - takes the Instructor through a series of Speciality Instructor Training Programs preparing you for work in the "real world" by giving you training in some of the most sought after PADI Instructor Qualifications.
