To become a dive instructor you will need to have a PADI certificate that can be obtained after successful completion of courses at a licensed dive centre. Once you have received a PADI Diving instructor License you may teach diving at a licensed dive centre or operate your own dive Centre. Please note that ownership or investment in a dive centre is reserved for Seychellois, except on outer islands (under special consideration). However, a foreigner can be employed by a dive centre. It is also important to have the necessary insurance policy for the type and scope of operation of the business as well as to cover clients in relation to safety and security.
