PADI Diving Instructor Courses in the Philippines

...and congratulations on your decision to become a PADI Diving Instructor!

Thresher Shark Divers is one of the premier PADI 5 Star diving instructor training facilities in the Philippines. We are a PADI CDC (Career Development Center), the elite of PADI Dive Centers, which should be your top choice when choosing a center to continue your career.

Depending on your current level of certification and your career goals we can put together a PADI IDC package just for you. Whether you are a non-diver or an experienced PADI Divemaster we will design your own tailored program. We offer everything from a private 6 day PADI IDC course to a 9 month dive internship training package to go from non-diver to PADI Staff Instructor.

Malapascua in the Philippines is a great place to do your Dive Instructor Course. With its white beaches and aqua blue waters, the surroundings are idyllic. And while you are here you will get to experience some of the best diving in the world: underwater wonders like the thresher sharks and manta rays, the wrecks, the macro and muck diving and incredible mandarin fish night dive.  Where else can you start each day of your PADI IDC with an early morning shark dive?!
