PADI Course Director Course

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is course that combines the PADI Assistant Instructor and the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) into one course.  During their training, instructor candidates review PADI Standards, procedures, philosophies and teaching methods as well as hone their practical teaching ability, waterman ship, and diving knowledge.

After successfully completing a PADI Instructor Examination (IE), OWSIs take responsibility for introducing people to scuba diving through various PADI programs and courses.  Teaching status PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors may conduct the entire range of PADI programs from Discover Scuba Diving up to Dive master (except for specialties which require specific Specialty Instructor ratings).
