Speciality Instructor Training
Speciality Instructor training, sometimes called Master Scuba Diver Trainer Prep is individual training in different instructor specialities.
This will make you a more rounded and employable instructor as well as getting you set up to qualify for Master Scuba Diver Trainer as you require 5 specialities to qualify for this rating.
The following is a list of Specialities that can be arranged through Big Squid
- Deep
- Wreck
- Drysuit
- Enriched Air Nitrox
- Underwater Navigator
- Search and Recovery
- SMB
- Oxygen Provider
- Equipment
- Boat
- Underwater Naturalist
- Night
- Sidemount (special parameters apply*)
Duration:
Most Specialities can be completed in a day. As a general rule, specialities that require 4 training dives at student level require 2 at instructor level and 2 require 1. Please note that as professional PADI instructors we are limited to conducting 3 training dives in a day therefore it is difficult to complete much more than 6 specialities in a weekend (depending on the specialities chosen).
To qualify for each speciality you must complete a knowledge development presentation, demonstrate understanding of all the key standards and knowledge reviews. You must complete an in-water teaching presentation and demonstrate proficiency in each skill.
Please contact us directly for costs as they are dependant on numbers and locations.
