Thank you for expressing interest in the
Instructor Development program at Diverse-Scuba

PADI’s Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the standard for instructor training. The combination of Diverse-Scuba’s excellent facilities with our     on-site heated pool, high quality instruction and PADI’s extensive range of educational materials allows you to complete the most comprehensive instructor program the industry offers in the most effective, fun and flexible style.

The objective of the Instructor Development program is to prepare you to become a PADI instructor. The program involves a varied curriculum of presentations, confined and open water workshops, discussions and candidate teaching presentations.

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) comprises of two distinct components the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program.

The AI course is a minimum of three days. It introduces you to the teaching techniques for skill and knowledge development. The course concentrates on duties and programs AI’s may conduct independently. Successfully completing this course earns you an AI certification and qualifies you to continue with the OWSI portion of the program.

The OWSI program is a minimum of four days. It introduces you to the entire PADI System and focuses on further developing your abilities as a professional dive educator. PADI Assistant Instructors (or those who have completed the AI portion of the IDC) as well as instructors from other dive training organizations who want to become PADI Instructors must complete this portion of the program. The AI course and OWSI program both emphasize learning and development – not evaluation. This allows you to gain confidence and improve performance in a low-stress environment. Successfully completing this program qualifies you to attend a PADI Instructor Examination.

Instructor Examination (IE) – To become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, you must successfully complete an IE. The IE serves as an objective evaluation of your skills and knowledge. Although passing an IE is necessary to become an OWSI – it is not the primary focus of the IDC. The ability to pass the IE is a natural result of preparing to be an instructor. Don’t dwell on the IE, but concentrate on the larger task of becoming a professional educator and competent dive leader.
