Benefits and advantages of the program:

Our new IDC curriculum consists of two parts the PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) Course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor program (OWSI).

Successfully completing the AI course earns you the Assistant Instructor rating and allows you to work as Instructional assistant and independently conduct certain PADI Programs. AI course completion also qualifies you to participate in the OWSI program which we run in conjunction with our IDC program.

During the AI and OWSI programs it is important to understand that our staff will concentrate on your skill and knowledge development, not on testing. The resort setting that we work in provides a low-stress environment that allows you to relax, which makes the learning easier and certainly a lot more fun.

What will I need to start?

PADI Divemaster rating or qualifying certification from another certification organization

Be At least 18 years old

Hold a dive certification for at least six months

Have 60 logged dives that include night, deep and navigation dives

Proof of CPR training within the last 24 months

Since Samui International Diving School is a PADI Career Development Center, you can participate in the IE prior to meeting the experience requirement of 100 dives, when enrolled in five of the CDC pre- and/or post-IDC courses (Pre-study, EFR and all Specialty courses qualify).

Candidates who successfully complete a PADI IDC conducted by a Career Development Center may attend a PADI IE if they have been certified divers for at least six months, have logged at least 60 dives and are certified PADI Assistant Instructors.



Certification as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor will take place when the 100 dives requirement has been met.
