Failure is not an option!!!! We offer unique access to additional material not available elsewhere to maximise you passing the IE and kick start your career as an Instructor.
If possible with the schedule, we kickstart your specialty instructor career by offering two very popular courses - Emergency Oxygen Provider and Enriched Air specialties - you then just have to pay for the PADI specialty fee (Option 1) direct to PADI which is a bonus to you as the most cost affordable
