PADI Fish Identification Instructor – Teach Divers to Explore with Purpose at Diving Academy
At Diving Academy, we believe diving becomes even more exciting when you know what you’re looking at. The PADI Fish Identification Instructor course gives you the tools to teach divers how to recognise and understand the marine life they encounter on every dive.
Divers often surface wondering, “What was that fish?” As a PADI Fish Identification Instructor, you help turn curiosity into knowledge. You’ll teach your students how to identify key fish families and species, observe behavioural patterns, and log their sightings in a meaningful way.
This course doesn’t just boost diver awareness—it deepens their connection to the underwater world and encourages a conservation mindset.
Why Teach Fish ID?
Marine life is one of the biggest reasons people fall in love with diving. That’s why this specialty is a perfect addition to your teaching portfolio. Whether your students are beginners or experienced divers, they’ll appreciate learning how to identify fish and contribute to citizen science projects like REEF.
Plus, the Fish ID course pairs well with other specialties such as Underwater Naturalist and Peak Performance Buoyancy, creating new opportunities to bundle certifications.
Deliver Clear, Fun, Standards-Based Training
You’ll learn how to structure classroom sessions, field identification dives, and post-dive discussions that keep your students engaged. We’ll guide you through PADI’s standards and procedures so you can deliver consistent, high-quality instruction.
You’ll also cover how to use slates, fish ID books, and dive apps effectively—tools that make each dive more interactive and educational.
