PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor 

Teaching scuba diving allows you to share your love of the aquatic world with others while doing what you enjoy - being in, around and under water. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors are the most sought-after dive professionals around the world because they've completed the program that sets the standard for training dive professionals. A PADI Instructor rating is earned through hard work and commitment, but the reward is a job that lets you share incredible underwater adventures with others - transforming their lives for the better and enriching your own. The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of two parts - the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Once both parts are successfully completed candidates can attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final step to earn a PADI Instructor certification. An Instructor Examination (IE) is a two-day evaluative program that tests a dive instructor candidate's teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, dive skill level, understanding of the PADI System, attitude, and professionalism.  The IDC teaches candidates to conduct all PADI core diving courses, as well as being able to organize and present information, conduct skill development sessions and control open water dives.
