PADI’s Tec Revolution Starts Here!
Prepare yourself to teach PADI’s Recreational Rebreather Courses which are due to launch imminently. Whatever your current rebreather credentials you are welcome to take part. Make your life less complicated by becoming 100% PADI!
How can you prepare?
The first step is to attend one of the global events that PADI Staff will be conducting especially for Instructors and Instructor Trainers to become PADI Rebreather Instructors or PADI Instructor Trainers for these courses. There’s also time to prepare by building your number of hours on your selected unit in order to meet the course pre-requisites.
Whether you’re planning to be a PADI Rebreather Instructor or Instructor Trainer you will have the opportunity, as part of the global events, to familiarize yourself with the PADI rebreather courses and how to apply the PADI system to rebreather diving, plus the opportunity to network with industry experts and other rebreather users.
Simply view the initial schedule below of recreational rebreather programs that PADI Pros’ can attend. Spaces will be limited so make sure you register early!
Download the registration forms here, contact your local PADI office, or visit the Pros’ site for further details.
