Become a Scuba Diving Instructor – Start a Life You Don’t Need a Holiday From

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your passion for diving into a full-time career, this is your moment. Central Coast Divers invites you to take the plunge into a rewarding, exciting, and ocean-filled lifestyle with our 20-Week Professional Instructor Program, right here on the stunning NSW Central Coast.

A New Career Starts Here – Dive In

Our program is designed for divers ready to go pro — offering an immersive, hands-on training experience that runs four days per week over 20 weeks. You’ll emerge as a fully qualified scuba diving instructor, certified to teach Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, and a suite of exciting Specialty Courses. But we don’t stop there. We also train you in the real-world skills needed to run and manage a professional dive centre — everything from customer service and logistics to gear maintenance, bookings, and dive operations.

This isn’t just about getting certified — it’s about becoming a leader in the diving industry.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Instructor-Level Certification: You’ll graduate ready to certify divers from beginner to advanced levels, including specialties like Deep, Night, Navigation, Wreck, and more.

  • Dive Centre Management Skills: Learn how to run a professional dive shop – retail sales, operations, equipment servicing, trip planning, customer management, and environmental compliance.

  • Live Experience, Not Just Theory: Train alongside a working dive team, guiding real customers, handling real gear, and gaining real confidence.

  • Professional Development: We’ll coach you in public speaking, group leadership, emergency response, risk management, and marine conservation.

  • Job-Ready in 20 Weeks: Complete your training and walk straight into the industry with qualifications and work-ready experience that employers are actively seeking.

Why Train With Central Coast Divers?

The NSW Central Coast offers one of the most scenic and diverse diving environments in Australia, from the world-renowned Ex-HMAS Adelaide wreck to reef systems, sponge gardens, and macro-rich sandy flats. You’ll train in real-world ocean conditions and build confidence in every environment.

As a working dive centre, Central Coast Divers connects directly with employers across Australia and the Indo-Pacific, and we’ve helped place dozens of instructors into paid jobs with resorts, liveaboards, training centres, and even conservation programs.

We also offer the kind of mentorship that only comes from passionate, highly experienced dive professionals who’ve made this their life’s work.

What’s in the Program?

  • Instructor Development Program (IDP)

  • Assistant Instructor & Open Water Scuba Instructor Certifications

  • Specialty Instructor Training (choose from a range of exciting specialties)

  • First Aid Instructor Training

  • Hands-on Dive Shop Operations Training

  • Resume Development & Job Placement Support

  • Unlimited Diving Throughout the Program

Who’s This For?

Whether you’re a Divemaster looking to take the next step or a keen diver ready to fast-track a new life, this program is tailored to help you launch a career. You don’t need to be an expert now — you just need a love for the ocean, a solid diving foundation, and a commitment to transform your lifestyle.


Urgent Call to Action – Jobs Are Waiting

Right now, the scuba industry is facing a massive shortage of qualified instructors both here in Australia and overseas. Dive resorts, training facilities, liveaboards, and marine parks are actively hiring. In fact, many of our graduates land offers before they even finish the course.

If you’ve ever said, “One day I’ll become a dive instructor,” this is that day. The demand is real. The opportunity is now. And the ocean is calling.

You could spend the next 5 months stuck in a job you don’t love, or you could spend it underwater, building a new future. Your office could be the reef. Your coworkers could be sea turtles. Your students could be first-time divers whose lives you’re about to change.

Don’t wait. Enrolments are open now – and spaces are limited.
