PADI IDC

Instructor Development Course

Are you ready to train the next generation of divers?

PADI’s Instructor Development Course (IDC) is a two-part programme, that equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to teach new and continuing education divers. During your IDC, you will learn more about the business of diving, get better at speaking in front of others, and polish your in-water skill demonstrations. You will also have a lot of fun team working with your fellow instructor candidates.

Joining Scuba Seekers’ PADI IDC will ensure all of this and much more. Our course director Amr Zakaria has been training PADI Instructors since 2016. Before that, he worked as a PADI Instructor for more than a decade. While he still teaches entry-level courses, he is now focused on training professional divers like you. Amr prides himself on his flexibility and availability, he aims to turn each of his candidates into the best possible PADI Instructor he or she can be.

During the IDC, you will practice briefing dive skills on land and teaching those skills underwater. You will also hear presentations about key topics in the dive industry, brush up on your PADI standards, and learn to start thinking like a dive instructor.

As soon as you sign up, your course can start with pre-IDC online preparation, Dive theory online revision, orientation on how to use the PADI Instructor Manual and anything you may need to get the most out of an amazing course.

At Scuba Seekers, we think the burden of care is on each of us to act in ways that positively impact the earth. As divers, we are in a unique position to raise awareness about ocean pollution and help prevent it in the first place. Amr’s IDC aims for minimal environmental impact during training and we will share with you our passion for conservation.

INSTRUCTOR EXAMINATION IN DAHAB

Once you complete the entire IDC, you need to attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final step to finally earn your certification and become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI).

PADI is running Instructor Examinations (IEs) in Dahab several times throughout the year. We know the IE can be a bit stressful, but no worries, we will be with you throughout the entire process to give you all our support and cheer you on!

PADI SPECIALTY INSTRUCTOR

Should you wish to go even further and become a PADI Specialty Instructor. With a choice of over 15 specialties we will not only ensure your path to a higher instructor rating but let you share your own passion with your future students, whether it’s depth, long relaxed enriched air dives, fun with DPV or many others!

TEAM TEACHING AT SCUBA SEEKERS

Once you are certified, the real journey begins! At Scuba Seekers we offer all our new PADI instructors the chance to team teach alongside one of our experienced instructors.

Team teaching will help you to build confidence and pick up invaluable hints and tips from your co-instructor.
