Like most EASE Instructor Graduates, it will probably be your intention to find employment in the dive industry on completion of your training with us. We are fortunate to have an extensive global network of dive centers and resorts to assist us in finding you job placement and permanent employment as a PADI scuba instructor. 

As with any profession, the more training and experience you have, the easier it will be to find a good position in that industry. The dive industry is no different. Today's employers are looking for job candidates who have had more extensive training beyond the basic scuba instructor rating achieved by completing the IDC/IE. 

Those graduates who take additional training courses after their IDC/IE will have the edge when it comes to being hired for the best jobs in the industry. For example, many employers give preference to job candidates who have Specialty Instructor training (MSDT) or who have taken an intensive industry-specific training course like our Dive Industry Specialist (DIS) program. See the sections on Post IDC Courses and the Dive Industry Specialist program for more information on how to make yourself more marketable as a dive industry employee.

We offer our graduates two distinct levels of job placement services:

For those graduates who complete their Instructor Development Course with us, we will contact our network of dive industry employers to see what positions they currently have open. We will then send your resume to the employers you are interested in working for. This will be a one time service and you will be required to produce your own resume.  We recommend that you visit the EASE Pro Job Online Board where you can post your resume and a photograph of yourself, prior to starting your training with us. We can then use this information later to help you with your job search.

Graduates who complete our Dive Industry Specialist program will have the added benefit of having a dive-industry-specific resume produced for you by our placement staff. More importantly, we will work with you and our network of employers to find the right job for you. Unlike other graduates who do not complete the Dive Industry Specialist program, you will be able to access our job placement service as many times as you need to. When you want to change jobs, you are welcome to contact us for help in finding you a new position.

Like all other instructor training facilities, we can not guarantee job placement. However, whether you choose to work at a dive store, resort, or on a live-aboard dive boat, it will be our priority to help you to achieve your career goals.
