Build upon your foundation as a PADI Instructor and join the Instructor Development process. You’ll benefit from taking your PADI IDC Staff Instructor course in our PADI Career Development Centre. PADI IDC Staff Instructors are qualified to teach Assistant Instructor Courses independently, thereby enhancing your employment prospects, earnings potential, and professional standing within the dive industry. Another benefit of becoming an IDC Staff Instructor is you can assist or conduct Instructor Development Courses (IDCs) under the supervision of a PADI Course Director. The PADI IDC Staff Instructor course is comprised of a two-day pre-assessment followed by auditing one of our IDCs in its entirety for nine days. In the pre-assessment, you will brush up on your dive theory, standards and changes, refresh your evaluation skills and receive presentations related to Instructor Development. While auditing the IDC, you’ll refresh and take your own notes on the IDC curriculum and work with our Course Directors and IDC Staff Instructors on evaluation sessions and learn how to grade candidates as they present their teaching assignments.

- Candidates complete two additional rescue scenarios:
- Rescuing a panicked diver at the surface.
- Removing an unresponsive diver from the water and administering emergency oxygen using a rescue breathing mask.
- A new emphasis on perseverance – telling students they have not learned something yet positions mistakes as a positive part of the learning process.

The PADI Rebreather Diver course introduces you to rebreather diving to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet and lets you experience things you never imagined possible as a scuba diver. This course builds on your PADI Rebreather Diver certification by expanding your knowledge, adding a bailout cylinder, and training you to dive as deep as 40 metres. Prerequisites

Ready to help yourself…..and others……….. Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning. You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques.

During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills.It is recommended you finish all the theory before you come here to do your course.
