Assistant Instuctors are dive educators who assist, organize and supervise knowledge development, confined water and open water training activities. They work in partnership with PADI Instructors to provide student divers with quality knowledge and skill development during PADI programs. The teaching skills Assistant Instructors develop during their training allows them to also independently conduct several PADI programs. With further training, they may also teach non-diving specialty courses as well as the Emergency First Response program.
