If you are an Advanced diver!

                                     Dixie Divers Instructor Academy’s staff has worked hard to make your new adventure easy. If you are a certified advanced diver you are eligible to enter the Dixie Divers Instructor Academy Career Track. This special program will take you through the PADI Emergency First Response, Rescue and Divemaster Certifications and lead you into the PADI Instructor Development Course. We have made it easy for you to plan by combining these into one convenient program.  Please note that upon completion of the Instructor Development Course, but prior to the Instructor Exam (IE), you are required by PADI to have been certified a minimum of 1 year and have logged 100 dives.  This entry requirement can only be accessed through a PADI approved Instructor Development Center such as DDIA. Upon your successful completion of the IE we strongly recommend you immediately enroll in the Continuing Education series of our Post IDC Vocational Training. During this program you will participate in Emergency First Response Instructor, DAN O2 Instructor, Nitrox Instructor, and Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Dives conducted during these programs will count towards the prerequisite of 100 dives and one year certification as required by PADI, needed for activation of your PADI Instructor Rating.
