Welcome to the PADI Instructor News blog

We created this website in 2007 for PADI Professionals working in the northwestern United States. In the last two years we've expanded to the entire west coast and the central pacific region.

The goal of this blog is to provide a place for PADI Members to:
  • Discover new ideas
  • Promote job opportunities
  • Find out what’s new at PADI
  • Share success stories

You'll notice at the bottom of each post there are keyword tags. The tags allow you to search the blog for items that interest you. Typing "jobs" into the search box above will pull up every article that mentions a job listing. Try other keywords such as "useful" or "teaching tips."

Our subscribers number over 400 and we are visited by an average of 700 PADI Professionals per week from around the world. We hope this blog will be something you find valuable and choose to visit regularly. You can subscribe to updates by email or RSS feed.
