To apply for a Specialty Instructor rating, an individual must be certi\ufb01ed as a PADI Underwater Instructor or higher. There are two ways to qualify to teach PADI Specialty Diver courses: 1) Attend a Specialty Instructor Training Course conducted by PADI Course Directors, or 2) apply directly to PADI.
Application made directly to PADI requires either: 1) use of a PADI standard-
ized Specialty Course Instructor Outline (this document), or 2) the submis-
sion of a self-generated specialty course outline for review. To speed outline
approval, reduce liability exposure and ensure educational validity of your
specialty courses, it is highly recommended that PADI standardized Specialty
Course Instructor Outlines be used for courses they have been developed for.
The Specialty Course Instructor Application is to be used whether attending a
Specialty Instructor Training Course or applying directly to PADI.
Important Note: Prior to promoting or teaching a PADI Specialty Diver
course, written con\ufb01rmation of instructor certi\ufb01cation in that specialty must
\ufb01rst be received from PADI.
