INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT

If you think back to when you took your first breaths underwater, then it's quite likely you'll remember the Instructor who first introduced you to the underwater world.  They opened up a whole new world to you, and introduced you to the excitement, adventure and joy of Scuba Diving.  As a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, you can be the one who introduces new people to the wonders of our oceans, and help them make memories similar to your own.​

Become a PADI Instructor

 

If you like people, have a passion for scuba diving and want an extraordinary life, then becoming a PADI Instructor may be just what you are looking for. 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 - The PADI Instructor Development Course. 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.

Our Instructor Development program

​

Using what we learned from our own careers, the staff of ScubaInstructor.net.au have worked hard to create an Instructor Development course that is designed to not only make you a great PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, but to also give you extra skills to help you stand out from and above other brand new Instructors.

 

​All PADI Instructors can work as independent contractors, and we believe that you should not be constrained within the framework of any single PADI centre.  Therefore we have designed our IDC so that you truly can work anywhere in the world, either for a dive centre, or as an independent instructor.

​

​Our course director has developed new teaching modules, based upon PADI's latest instructional methodologies, as well as others drawn from various national curriculum, and adapted the IDC program to reflect the challenges of both temperate & tropical waters.  These modules will not only help you to more effectively run your courses, but to also give your students an educational experience which is unparalleled in the dive industry.

​

Our IDC programs also include optional industry-essential skills to help you grow as an Instructor and successfully build your own Scuba Diving Instructional business.

​

Lastly, we include your EFR Instructor training in the price of our IDC - as with all our other courses, there are no hidden costs on our IDC.  The only additional costs would be payable directly to PADI, and we have no control over what they set those as, hence why we don't include them.

Our IDC price:

from $2,800/person
