The PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor program is your final step
in the quest to become a PADI Instructor. During the IDC, you'll learn to use
and adapt the PADI System of diver education to individual student needs.
Comprehensive training, supported by a wide variety of PADI
educational materials, earns PADI Instructors respect from both students and
peers. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors may conduct a broad range of PADI
programs from Discover Scuba to Divemaster.
