PADI Instructor Specialties
PADI instructor specialties are the certifications that qualify you to teach each specialty as an instructor. If you are already a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, they are the way to expand the range of courses you can teach and build a more complete professional profile. They are taught as a continuation of the Instructor Development Course (IDC).
