The Fun Part

Because IDC Staff Instructors are an integral part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), you set the stage for moving on to PADI Course Director as you present topics in the IDC and help shape PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors into PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.

Many of the dive center or resort management positions require this level of Instructor experience and training, making this an important step if you are considering a career at a Dive Center or if you want to open a dive shop or resort.  


What You Learn

You become a master of instructor-level dive theory, knowledge development teaching presentations and confined water teaching presentations.  Plus you will audit a complete IDC as a staff member rather than as a student. 

 

What You Can Teach

In addition to all the courses you can teach as a PADI Instructor, IDC Staff Instructors also are certified to:

  • Teach PADI Assistant Instructor courses.
  • Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting the PADI Instructor Development Course.
  • Assist PADI Course Directors in conducting instructor-level continuing education.

At a glance, compare what you can teach when you continue your professional diver education.
