PADI Diving Instructor Courses
Welcome to our PADI Professional Scuba Instructor and course area. Here you can see which classes we offer and learn more about each one of them. Our approach here is to explain the classes, and break out the costs of each one so that you will know the true expenses involved in each class. Each class is set up with Tutition, and many have materials, books and some have PADI Fees. Please note that any PADI Fees or PADI Application fees are paid directly to PADI, but we included them here so you understand all of the costs involved in that certification.
