Looking for a new challenge?

Want to see more of the world’s aquatic realm?

There are so many reasons for wanting to become a PADI diving instructor. Your office becomes the ocean, your knowledge becomes an instrument for education and your passion protects the fragile aquatic world.

We’ve been teaching PADI Instructors in Vietnam since 2001. We don’t look to teach a high quantity, just high quality!

Only 1 candidate has failed to become an Instructor; he didn’t read or write (self taught) adequately.

If you don’t have time for the IDC, why not consider the PADI Assistant Instructor programme? 7 day course which can be run at any time. Ask us for more details.
