You're on your way to becoming a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with only five PADI Specialty Instructor ratings. You have three ways to become a PADI Specialty Instructor:
- With a Course Director
- Use your experience to apply directly to PADI
- Write your own outline
- 10 experience dives in each particular specialty
- Minimum number of certification not required

- 20 experience dives in each particular specialty
- Have certified at least 25 divers before applying

Specialty Instructor Training course attendance is highly recommended. These courses provide valuable hands-on training, technique demonstrations, course marketing information, current PADI Standards information and, when applicable, instructor-level open water training.
