Diploma only - A First Aid Instructor Certification is required prior to issuing your PADI Instructor Certification.

This can be completed in the same year as your Diploma in Professional Scuba Instruction. You may be eligible for a partial scholarship for this course as well as a reduction (RPL) in the fees for your diploma as some of the required unit standards are in both courses. If you are eligible, the fees for both courses will be $16,672 for New Zealand citizens. For International students we can deliver a separate course to meet this requirement at an additional fee.
