A PADI Divemaster who has been a certified diver for six months may enroll in the PADI Instructor Development Course. You also need:

o   At least 60 logged dives and 100 dives to attend an IE.

o   Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care training within the past 24 months.

o   A medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months

You also need to be an Emergency First Response Instructor, but you can earn this rating during your instructor training.

What will you learn?

 

Over a minimum of five days, but usually more like seven, the IDC teaches you to conduct all PADI core courses. You’ll be able to organize and present information, conduct skill development sessions and control open water dives. Basically, you become a better public speaker and get really good at demonstrating skills while watching out for student diver safety. Key topics include:

 

o   PADI Standards and Procedures for courses you can teach with in water workshops

o   Learning, Instruction and the PADI System

o   Risk Management and Diver Safety

o   The Business of Diving and your role as an instructor

o   Marketing Diving and Sales Counseling

How can you start learning now?

 

Register for IDC Online – PADI’s eLearning option that lets you study independently at your own pace before class. There are nine interactive knowledge development sections. Prestudy online saves classroom time, which allows more time for practicing the skills that distinguish you as a PADI Instructor.

 

Also, sign up for Dive Theory Online, if you haven’t already completed it or it’s been more than a year since you went through it. The program is a straightforward review of dive physics, physiology, skills, equipment and environment, plus using the Recreational Dive Planner (RDP). By successfully completing Dive Theory Online, you can get credit for the dive theory exam requirement during your IDC.
