PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors – Your Next Great Challenge Awaits!

Are you a passionate diver ready to take your love for the ocean to the next level? If you’ve always dreamed of making the underwater world your lifelong office, then you’re in the right place.

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the most comprehensive and respected training program for dive professionals. We’re proud to say that the IDC is recognized by the American Council on Education, a testament to its high standards and academic rigor. As part of the most popular and globally recognized diving education system, PADI has opened countless career doors for PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors (OWSI) worldwide.

Whether you envision yourself working in the Maldives, the Caribbean, or becoming an OWSI in Eilat, one of the Red Sea’s most spectacular dive destinations, this course is your gateway.

What to Expect from the IDC

This intense 14-day program will include everything you need to go from Divemaster to a certified PADI OWSI, culminating in the Instructor Examination (IE) at the end. Here’s an overview of what you’ll experience:

Theory

The course kicks off with in-depth reviews of PADI educational standards and five key knowledge areas:

• Physics
• Physiology
• Scuba Equipment
• The RDP (Recreational Dive Planner)
• Diving Skills and the Aquatic Environment

You’ll begin preparing these topics before the course, and during the IDC, we’ll review them together until you’re fully comfortable and proficient in each area.

Classroom Presentations

Learn how to confidently deliver academic presentations, using the PADI system. By the end of this section, you’ll be equipped to teach classroom sessions for divers of all levels, from Open Water Diver through to Divemaster.

Confined Water Teaching

In this section, you’ll practice in a controlled pool or confined water environment, where you’ll learn how to:

• Brief and demonstrate skills
• Solve problems
• Maintain group control and safety
• Debrief students effectively

Open Water Teaching

Next, you’ll take your skills to the open water, where the real-world challenges begin. Focus will include:

• Controlled descents
• Surface management in currents and waves
• Adapting to varying ocean conditions

This hands-on experience is designed to prepare you for any dive environment, making you a versatile and highly skilled instructor.

The Final Step: The Instructor Examination

After 12 days of intensive training, you’ll take part in the 2-day Instructor Exam (IE), led by an external PADI examiner. This is the final test of your theoretical knowledge and practical teaching abilities. While it’s a challenge, the reward is worth it: becoming a certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI). This marks the beginning of your global diving career—perhaps even as an OWSI in Eilat, teaching in the vibrant coral reefs of the Red Sea.
