PADI just launched a crossover promotion for instructors from other training organisations, and the savings are real.

Who Can Use This
Open to nationals of the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia. It runs across Asia Pacific from September 1st to December 20th, 2026.

What You Save
PADI waives the initial IE fees, EFRI application, and Instructor application fees, including your 2027 membership, saving you AUD 2,295 in total.

Not sure if you qualify for this? Or want to see how we can plan your IDC around this window? Get in touch, and we’ll walk you through exactly what PADI needs before you commit to anything.
