If you are not ready to complete a full Instructor Development Course (IDC), or would like to get some additional teaching experience before you complete the OWSI program and the Instructors Exam (IE) Then the PADI Assistant Instructor Program is THE course for you!
 
If you like people, have a passion for scuba diving and want an extraordinary life - become a PADI 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 and PADI Assistant 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.
 
You earn a PADI Instructor rating through hard work and commitment, but you're rewarded with a job that lets you share incredible underwater adventures with others - transforming their lives for the better and enriching yours.
Are you ready to join the ranks of the dedicated professionals who teach the world's most progressive and popular scuba diver education programs? Then Go PRO with an Instructor Development Course.
 
Successfully completing just the AI course results in a PADI Assistant Instructor qualification. When an AI is ready to progress, attending an OWSI program allows them entry into an IE to earn a full PADI Instructor rating.
 
A PADI Divemaster who has been a certified diver for six months may enroll in the PADI Instructor Development Course. You also need:

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