Course
The PADI Instructor Development Course in our Sanur flagship center is designed to develop and refine your personal and professional teaching skills.
As a PADI 5* CDC Center, we are one of the few on the island that can provide you with the theoretical and practical knowledge required to cultivate your teaching and leadership abilities as a diving instructor. We also offer a number of diving courses and specialties.
We believe in a personalized approach that focuses on your strengths while addressing your weaknesses.
We exclusively teach the latest revised IDC curriculum which focuses even more on real life teaching, more workshops, preparing you to become a better, active PADI Instructor
IDC
The PADI instructor Development Course qualifies you to attend the PADI Instructor Exam (IE), and is made up of 2 FUNdamental parts:
The first part is the Diving Instructor Course (all PADI courses & programs, the philosophy, class organization, marketing, etc…)
The Second part is training as an Emergency First Response Instructor (unless you are already an active CPR & first aid instructor).
The objective of the diving instructor course is to allow you to get hands on experiences and the full comprehension of becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. You will participate in various underwater and dry workshops focusing on developing your own style of teaching. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach that creates drones and we guarantee you will have a lot of FUN!
The Emergency First Response Course is another SUPER fun 2-day course to qualify you to become an EFR instructor. You will then be qualified to teach people how to save lives, give rescue breaths, CPR, and handle other life-saving techniques.
