      These courses take 1-2 days and you can start teaching the courses immediately and you don’t need to wait until you have issued 25 certifications in order to teach a specialty and you only need 10 dives in that area to qualify not 20 required by the direct application method and you’ll also save money on your application to PADI.<\/p>

      Choose 5 Specialty Instructor ratings as part of our MSDT package. We have small group sizes, and Placencia has amazing dive conditions, and great coral reefs to learn on, and a great lifestyle to enjoy on land.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
