PADI ProfessionalPADI Instructor Development Course (IDC):

We run IDC's on demand as well as running two scheduled IDC programmes - generally in early March and late October each year. .

The IDC is designed to emphasise learning and development to prepare you to function as an instructor.

  • You gain knowledge, skills and teaching techniques to use the PADI system effectively;
  • The focus is on 'real world' application;
  • Your performance is measured throughout the programme to assist you to improve your abilities.
  • You are given an introduction to the business of diving, including economic, social, cultural, legal, governmental and environmental concerns as well as marketing and customer service.

Our Course Director, Master Instructors, and Staff Instructors will be available to guide, help and facilitate the Instructor candidates in a stress-free and relaxed atmosphere.

PADI Instructor DevelopmentThe course is divided into two parts.

PADI Assistant Instructor (AI)

  • Introduces teaching techniques for skill and knowledge development.
  • Concentrates on programmes AI's may conduct
  • Completion of the AI programme qualifies you to continue onto the PADI OWSI programme.

PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI)

  • Introduces the entire PADI system.
  • Focuses on further developing abilities as a professional dive educator.
  • Completion of the OWSI programme qualifies you to attend a PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

What do I need to start?

You must be a PADI Divemaster (or equivalent) and have a recognised CPR certification, such as the PADI Medic First Aid or Emergency First Response, within the past two years.

How long will it take?

The instructor Development Course runs over seven days and is usually immediately succeeded by a local PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

What next?

After successfully completing the PADI Instructor Development Course, you will want to attend a PADI Instructor Examination (IE). There is a local IE immediately following the IDC.  Once you are a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, you will want to continue your professional dive education by adding Speciality Courses and continuing to the Master Scuba Diver Trainer, Staff Instructor.
