 
PADI ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR
Are you a PADI Divemaster?
You’re getting close. Now it’s time to start your Instructor Development Course (IDC). This program consists of two sections, the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. This structure lets you divide the course into two blocks for schedule convenience if you need to. However, you may prefer to complete the two portions together, going through the entire program in as few as seven days.
The first part of the IDC is the AI program. This program provides you additional experience as a PADI Professional and teaches you the PADI System of diver education.
PADI Assistant Instructors can;
-
Teach knowledge development (classroom) presentations (under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor)
