Become an Avelo Instructor

Lead the Future of Diving.

Scuba diving is evolving — and as an Avelo Instructor, you’ll be at the forefront of that transformation.
The Avelo System, combining the Hydrotank and Jetpack, replaces the traditional BCD and tank setup with a lightweight, water-integrated buoyancy system. The result: effortless trim, natural control, and an entirely new feeling of freedom underwater.

Avelo training develops true mastery of buoyancy, lung control, and watermanship — empowering you to teach divers how to move more efficiently, think more clearly, and truly fly underwater.

  • Be among the first professionals qualified to teach the Avelo System and represent the next era of diving.

  • Master a unique technology that enhances your understanding of buoyancy, breathing, and underwater efficiency.

  • Avelo’s streamlined approach accelerates skill mastery and helps students achieve effortless control and awareness.

  • Avelo divers experience better trim, comfort, and gas efficiency, building confidence from their first dive onward.

  • Collaborate with Avelo Dive Centers and instructors worldwide who share a passion for innovation and quality training.
