Exciting news
To meet the growing demand for new PADI Instructors, PADI Asia Pacific is launching a special offer for NEW PADI DMs to become PADI Instructors!
Due to this increased demand for PADI Instructors, PADI will refund the cost of the Instructor Application (a massive $350 saving) for any new PADI Divemaster who was certified after the 1st of August 2025 and is taking their PADI Instructor Development course and PADI Instructor Exam before the 31st of December 2025.
To be eligible, you must:
• Complete your PADI Divemaster (DM) course and pay the DM Application fee between the 1st of August and the 31st of December 2025 in PADI Asia Pacific.
• After being certified as a PADI Divemaster, complete your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) and register, pay and complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) in PADI Asia Pacific between September 1st and December 31st 2025.
PADI will refund the Instructor application fee in late January 2026 to those eligible.
Please note, this special offer is only available to those who complete their DM, IDC and IE in PADI Asia Pacific during the campaign period and select Asia Pacific as their teaching location.

Join us to complete your PADI IDC
At Asia Scuba Instructors we like to think that we offer a pretty unique PADI IDC program. Generally, candidates who sign up for our PADI IDC are not looking for the ‘cheapest option’, or for the ‘easiest way’ to get their PADI instructor rating.
They recognize that we are fully comitted to support our candidates in a unique way – before, during, and long after the IDC.
We run PADI IDC’s every month in multiple locations around Asia and we have 3 more IDC’s planned before the end of 2025.
Still not convinced? Have a look what our former candidates have to say about us!
