 PADI Assistant Instructor/Open
Water Scuba Instructor Course (IDC)
Overview
The PADI Instructor course is divided, like many PADI courses, into two sub
component courses, the PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) course, and the Open
Water Scuba Instructor course (OWSI). Both together are called the
Instructor Development Course (IDC).
This gives you the option of completing an IDC in a
seven day format, at a five star IDC Centre/Gold Palm Resort, or in two
sections; firstly, three days for the Assistant Instructor program (this may
be conducted at 5 star centre as well as an IDC centre), then completing the
final 4 day OWSI program at a 5 star IDC Centre/ Gold Palm Resort.
Instructors joining from other agencies may choose to complete only the OWSI
section of the program or complete both sub component programs.
To give you more idea of what is involved, here is a look at the
course outline.......
