If you are a PADI Divemaster!

  Congratulations on your accomplishment of becoming a PADI Divemaster. You are ready to enter the PADI Instructor Development Course. If you have been a certified diver for six months and have made at least 60 dives, you qualify for a PADI Sanctioned Instructor Development course.

         Please note that upon completion of the Instructor Development Course, but prior to the Instructor Examination (IE), you are required by PADI to have been certified a minimum of 1 year and have logged 100 dives. This entry requirement can be only accessed through a PADI approved Instructor Development Center such as DDIA. Upon 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 (EFRI), DAN O2 provider, 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.
