You can enter one of our Instructor Career Programs with only a basic scuba certification such as PADI Open Water Diver. However, you will need to have been certified as a diver for 6 months. In this case, the first course in your Instructor Career Program would be the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course. You would then complete PADI Rescue Diver, Medic First Aid and Divemaster prior to taking the PADI Instructor Development Course and Instructor Examination.
