2011 PADI Instructor Manual Now Available on PADI Pro's Site


Renewed PADI Members can download the 2011 instructor manual from the PADI Pro's Site as a .pdf.  To download the 2011 Instructor Manual, click on the Training Essentials menu from the homepage, then choose Digital Instructor Manual. English is the only language available right now, additional translations will be posted as they become available.

Non-renewed members will be prompted to renew online before they can access the manual. For questions or to renew over the phone, call: 800 729 7234 ext. 2495 (membership department) or +1 949 858 7234 ext. 2495.

What size are the instructor manual pages?

If you download and print our .pdf, you'll get a 5.5" x 8.5" page in the middle of 8.5" x 11" real estate. With the right printer, the pages can be printed "2-up." You'll get two of the smaller pages printed side-by-side (see picture below).


If you might be interested in purchasing new paper "guts" for your instructor manual binder, please tell your sales rep or leave a comment below with your PADI number. This is a product we may produce if there's enough interest.

Guessing that heavy stock, glossy paper, printer ink would cost more than simply purchasing 2011 insert for my binder ?!? I'd buy a 2011 insert if you decide to put a few together. ;-)

I was really looking forward to purchasing a "hard copy" (binder and pages) of the 2011 Instructor manual. I am tired of carrying around my Giant binder and I didn't buy the small 2010 version when it came out because of all the anticipated changes for 2011. #237820

I'd like a hard-copy 2011 IM.

I agree on having a printed hard copy available for purchase. I like the smaller page size.
