PADI Instructor Courses are offered regularly here in Cairns
and are very popular. The courses are offered approximately
every 2 to 3 months. Please e-mail
us if you are interested, don't forget to let us know
the month and year you are considering for the course.
The PADI Instructor Courses consist of 3 parts:
- The Instructor Development Course (IDC): In 14
days you will learn how to teach scuba diving in the classroom
(theory), pool and open water. After successful completion
of the IDC you can attend the Instructor Evaluation (IE).
After the IDC, you can participate in an IDC+ course if
you wish.
- The Instructor Development Course Plus Course (IDC+):
A 2 day course that offers additional training. Fine-tune
your presentation techniques for classroom and pool. With
this additional course you get the maximum preparation
needed to successfully participate in the Instructor Evaluation
(IE) exams. This course is not a prerequisite for the
Instructor Evaluation, however, it is highly recommended.
- The Instructor Evaluation (IE) exams: 1 -2 days
There
are a couple of requirements in order to become a PADI Dive
Instructor. These are the absolute minimum needed. Personally,
we recommend diving for a few years and making at least
100 logged dives before you consider taking the course.
Also, it is handy to first gain eperience as a Dive Master
before moving on to the next level.
