Want to learn about the PADI system of Diver Education and gain additional experience as a PADI Professional, you next two steps are PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI). These can be taken as two seperate courses but are best taken combined as a PADI IDC (IDC) so you can start your journey as a PADI Instructor following your PADI Instructor Exam (IE). After this you are qualified to teach PADI Open Water Diver Course, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course, PADI Rescue Diver Course and PADI Divemaster Course.

Crossing over from another agency

You can easily crossover to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. In most cases this will simply be a matter of enrolling in the OWSI program before taking the PADI Instructor Exam.

With effect from March 2009 you need to be qualified as an Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRi) to participate in your PADI IE, you can also take the training with your PADI Divemaster Course.

Completing PADI Speciality Instructor Training with our resident Platinum PADI Course Director allows you to start teaching the PADI Specialities you received training in immediately to students. If you would like to take several PADI Speciality Instructor training courses why not enrol in our Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) Preparation Program. Combine this with our exclusive Work Experience program and gain the 25 certifications you require to become a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT).
Once you have gained your 25 certifications from teaching PADI Courses to students you can enrol in your PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course (IDSC) enabling you to assist a PADI Course Director in training the next generation of PADI Instructors.

Career opportunities in the recreational dive industry are increasing rapidly, however so is the competition, especially for the most attractive jobs! To maximize your opportunity in the industry you need to be a cut above the average instructor. Management Training gives you that needed edge, as well as the opportunity to increase your income and expand your own skills.

When you think about the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) there is one component that is vital to your success – the PADI Course Director.

PADI Course Directors hold the highest and most respected professional rating in recreational scuba diving. They are among the dive industry’s most influential leaders and role models. Those who join this elite group of professionals pass through a stringent screening process that examines their experience and training just to get into the competitive and demanding Course Director Training Course. After successful completion of this course they are the only people who can complete PADI Instructor Training Courses.

Sometimes the personality and experience as an instructor are more important than the qualification that enables the person to teach the course.

We are the only PADI 5 * CDC Centre in Asia to be able you this unique team of individuals to make you the most all round Scuba Diving Instructor you can be.

If you want to be trained by the most dedicated PADI IDC team, that has been recognised by PADI in 2010 for our achievement in Instructor Development then what is stopping you.

He was awarded with Platinum Course Director status from PADI in early 2007. He uses the latest techniques, tools, presentations and materials developed by PADI, and then polishes it for the best teaching experience for his students. His presentation and counseling techniques make you feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed. This builds a positive learning environment conducive to remembering the information you’ve been taught. He’s been a PADI Course Director since 1994 (trained almost 1,000 Instructors) and that makes him one of the most experienced PADI Course Directors in Asia.
