PADI Open Water Scuba
Instructor Course
Are you
looking for something extraordinary? To do something
others can only dream of? To help people transform
their lives? To open doors you didn’t even know
existed? All of this, and more, awaits you as a PADI
Open Water Scuba Instructor. When you take your PADI
Instructor Development Course (IDC) in Key Largo
with Ocean Divers, a PADI Career Development Center,
it will truly be a life changing experience.
The Fun Part
It’s about life transformations-both yours and those
around you. The fun part of instructor training is
interacting with course participants while creating
friendships
that continue long after the course
concludes. You’ll begin networking with other
professionals and begin to explore professional
scuba diving jobs worldwide. You’ll also have the
opportunity to continue your professional education
by participating in
PADI Specialty Instructor
Training Courses,
which train you to teach specialties after
instructor certification.
The
Challenging Part
The
challenging part of this course is your personal
commitment to the training.
The course requires
you to complete all the self-study Knowledge Reviews
before
the course begins and to prepare daily
assignments for teaching presentations daily.
Organization and dedication are key.

The PADI Instructor Development Course crewpak
includes all the materials
needed to prepare for
the Instructor Development Course (IDC). Must also
have
a PADI Instructor Manual and ERDPml.
