Instructor Development Course - PADI

For three decades, Dive Centre Manly has been delivering world-class scuba training. Our custom-built Diver Training Centre includes a heated pool, modern classrooms, and on-site service and tank testing facilities—all designed to provide the ideal environment for your development as a dive educator.

We’re more than just a dive shop—we’re marine advocates. As key contributors to the creation of Sydney’s first fully protected Aquatic Reserve at Cabbage Tree Bay, we continue to lead the way in ocean conservation. Our regular Dive Against Debris events in partnership with the PADI AWARE Foundation allow you to become an environmentally responsible instructor from day one.
