To begin your professional career in diving, you'll need to attain
the PADI Divemaster rating.
After successfully completing Advanced
Open Water and Rescue Diver training, you'll work closely with a
PADI Instructor to expand your diving skills and knowledge to the
professional level.
Then, in the most fulfilling part of your course, you'll learn
and practice supervising diving activities and assisting with student
training. Our Divemaster courses follow PADI's new DM course outlines.

Prior to the start of the new Instructor Development Course, Assistant
Instructor Course or OWSI program, the candidate must complete all
16 IDC Knowledge Reviews from the IDC Candidate Workbook.
This may be accomplished by self-study or through staff led pre-course sessions. During the first two days IDC Pre-study, staff instructors will guide you through your reading assignments and help you understand PADI standards, educational philosophy, training suggestions and other background information.
You'll also be completing the new PADI Divemaster exam including
Physics, Physiology, Skills & Environment, Equipment and the
RDP. The dive theory is usually the most common improvement area
for IDC candidates.
You'll receive valuable feedback on any missed
question you may have. In the pool you'll practice the 20 skills
from the IDC Skill Circuit and the Rescue Diver Course exercise
#7 from the Instructor Examination (IE).

If you are already a diving educator from another recreational
scuba certification agency, you can take advantage of dive industry
demands by becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
The PADI
Crossover program (SSI/BSAC/CMAS
Corresponding Levels with PADI) acknowledges that you're an experienced scuba
instructor who only needs an orientation to the PADI system. This condensed course focuses on first analyzing and understanding the PADI system, and then adapting your instructional style to conduct PADI programs.
The Crossover program consists of the five days OWSI program. We
invite you to attend the full nine-day IDC Program at the reduced Crossover price.

An evaluative program where you repeat what you have been doing
during the IDC. After completion of the IDC or OWSI, you must successfully
complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) to become an Open
Water Scuba Instructor.
You will be evaluated on dive theory, knowledge development presentations, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching, and general diving skills and professionalism. Nothing new.
All our prior candidates found the IE easier than the IDC.
Special IE pass guarantee In the very unlikely
event that you don't pass the IE, we will invite you to do a second
IDC free, including your accommodation, breakfast and lunch.
Special CDC IE option: Candidates enrolled in five pre-and/or post-IDC
courses (Pre-study, MFAI, Specialties etc.) OR candidates of a six-week
career development program who successfully complete a PADI IDC
conducted by Dive Asia CDC, may attend a PADI IE if they have been
certified divers for at least six months, have logged only 60 dives
and are certified PADI Assistant Instructors (the AI course is part
of the new IDC). CDC candidates who successfully complete an IE
and subsequently meet the 100-logged-dive requirements will be certified
as PADI Instructors when their paperwork has been processed by PADI.
