It is an indescribable feeling to see people take their very first breath underwater. As a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, you get to introduce people to a whole new world. You get to share your passion for the big blue, improving people’s lives. Go PROSM and become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) or a PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) with an Instructor Development Course (IDC).
As an OWSI, you will be able to teach beginner courses, such as the Discover Scuba Diving Experience, the Suba Diver Course and the Open Water Diver Course. In all these courses, you set the bar for a new generation of divers and get to shape how they perceive this great unknown. In the continuing education courses, the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver, you help people become better divers and teach them how to care of themselves, their buddies and the aquatic realm. You will also be licenced to teach the Divemaster course and help exceptional individuals with a passion for diving to take the next step.
During the IDC, you become a better public speaker and get exceptional experience demonstrating skills while watching out for your student diver’s safety. The course includes PADI standards and procedures, the PADI system, risk management and diver safety, diving business, marketing, and sales counselling.
