The Instructor Development Course =

Selfstudy + Assistant Instructor (AI) + Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI)

Our business is introducing people with a dream to a new career and helping to ensure your professional success.
The goal of our IDC program is simple: We will ensure that you—the future PADI professional diving instructor—will be well prepared to work in the recreational diving industry. Almost anyone can train you to pass the IE; we want to train you to get a job. The IDC includes many useful workshops that will make candidates more prepared for the "real world" after passing the IE.

During the IDC we will provide you all the knowledge you need to feel save and comfortable while conducting presentations in the classroom, pool or open water. Practical workshops, hints and suggestions as well as the correct use of the PADI Instructor Manual will make you more familiar with the PADI standards & procedures in all different kind of courses.
It’s okay to do mistakes….no problem. We are there to positive reinforce you or provide help wherever needed. Our frequent counseling during the course will make it easy for you to improve yourself and feel more self confident as an upcoming instructor.

The IDC program of PADI is split in three parts. It starts with the "Selfstudy Section" which can be done online using PADI eLearning or in Person during the first 2 days of your IDC. The part of the “Assistant Instructor” course followes right after and the nwe go on directly to the “Open Water Scuba Instructor” part of the IDC course.
Instructors who are already certified on instructor leadership level with another recreational dive training organization just need to join our OWSI program.
