BECOME A PADI INSTRUCTOR?

FROM DIVER TO MENTOR

START YOUR PADI INSTRUCTOR COURSE

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), along with your PADI Course Director, will teach you -from day one- how to “Think like an instructor.” You’ll be trained to teach a full range of certifications, from beginner to advanced, which will give you the necessary skills to train and inspire divers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to explore the underwater world.

Your Scuba Dive Online PADI Course Director will take you through classroom workshops, either online or in-person, which cover learning instruction and the PADI system. You will learn how to schedule and set up your own courses from beginner to Divemaster, plan logistics, manage risk, and make judgment calls. There will be daily confined water or open water presentations in which you will learn how to control and solve student problems, whilst fine-tuning your own general diving skills and rescue skills to a professional level.

WHEN AND WHERE YOU WANT!

At Scuba Dive Online, we focus on flexibility. Our approach is all about YOU: Start at home with interactive e-learning sessions in our virtual classrooms and finish the in-water section at one of our handpicked destinations. Or complete the full training on-site with one of our experienced Course Directors. The choice is yours!

You haven’t decided on when and where you want to do your full Instructor Course? No problem! We understand travel commitments can be challenging, so we provide unlimited access to the IDC online until you’re ready. This allows you to start learning and keep progressing at your own pace.

Our online IDC spans 8 days, 3 hours per day, with flexible time slots to accommodate all regions. Day 8 is reserved for EFR Instructor theory. Each session is interactive, led by one of our skilled Course Directors, with workshops based on the e-learning you’ve completed. You’ll engage with other candidates, share experiences, and practice teaching presentations in a supportive, dynamic environment.

TRAIN IN PARADISE!

After the theory comes the in-water training: confined water and open water presentations, skills circuits, rescue scenarios and more. This part of the IDC will be conducted in the destination of your choice. And this is probably the most tricky part of the course: choosing where you’ll do you the in-water section of your IDC! Will you go for the crystal clear water of the Maldives? The breathtaking sea-life of the Philippines? Or will you pick another one of our breathtaking destinations?

Of course, If you prefer to train on-site, we offer full courses -from theory to in-water training- in Thailand on the beautiful islands of Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, as well as at other affiliated locations worldwide.
