I used diversdepot in Texas. They offered a week long instructor course. All day, every day we were taught what we needed to know to pass the instructor exam. Of course you already need to be a dive master and have the minimum logged dives (100 for PADI instructor). I would suggest you use a place that specializes in teaching instructors. You will finish quicker in a concentrated class. The cost should be about the same, after you add up everything. You will also have the chance to dive more often if you’re staying at the facility the caters to teaching instructors. Good luck! And keep us posted.
