  • Enriched Air NITROX Instructor

    Consistently rated as the number one PADI specialty by total number of certifications each year, NITROX is a ‘must teach’ for the professional dive instructor. The entire PADI Enriched Air program was rewritten to include only dive computers and no dive tables or advanced mathematics. We expect to see even more divers taking advantage of the benefits of NITROX, enrolling in courses and regularly diving with mixed gases. This is also a prerequisite for any DSAT TECREC training that you may wish to take.

  • Deep Diving Instructor

    Always one of the highest requests for specialty diver courses and a prerequisite for DSAT TECREC Instructor training, the PADI Deep Dive Instructor is a great certification to add to your resume. There are 2 deep dives with staged skills in this course, maximum depth of 130 feet/40 meters. This is also a great course to mix with diving Gordo Banks and enjoying the spectacle of pelagic marine life and possibly some schooling hammerhead sharks.

  • Underwater Photography Instructor

    Now in the mainstream of diving, taking photos with a digital underwater camera is one of the most popular activities for divers around the world. Here in Cabo San Lucas we have both great viz mixed with large animals like whale shark trips to La Paz for wide angle photos and amazing macro life to zoom in on when on a diving trip to Cabo Pulmo. The Digital Underwater Photography Instructor course includes 2 dives and is taught to you by one of the premier underwater photo pros in Los Cabos.
