PADI Instructor Development

PADI's Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the heart of PADI Instructor training. During the course, you'll apply your diving knowledge and skill while learning to use the PADI System of diver education in the classroom and in the water.

The IDC is divided into two sections: The Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. This approach allows you to split up the course into two blocks of time.
