The IE is a two day evaluation program that tests you, the instructor Candidate in your
teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, water-skill level, understanding of the PADI System, altitude & professionalism. IEs typically start the evening before the dates stated on the program schedule with an Orientation and one of the theory exams. Full details will be given when enrolling. Please contact us if the dates of our programs do not suit you.

To attend an IE you must:

• Successfully complete an OWSI program or IDC within 12 months from start date of
  the IE.
• Have documentation of at least 100 logged dives including experience in navigation,

• Present a medical statement for a diving medical examination which has been conducted within the past 12 months indicating that the candidate is fit for diving.

An Instructor candidate who is unsuccessful at an IE must wait at least five days before attending another IE. If unsuccessful at a second IE, the instructor candidate must attend the appropriate components of another OWSI program or IDC (as directed by PADI) with a PADI Course Director , before attending another IE.  It's recommended that instructor candidates are registered for an IE with PADI several weeks in advance. This allows for better planning of staff and logistical needs.

Teaching PADI Specialties are a great way of enjoying your diving and staying fresh. Pass on your enthusiasm by teaching the things that interest you and become a valuable asset to your dive centre by completing Specialty Instructor Training with our Course Director so you can teach these PADI Specialty Courses as soon as your application is processed.

We can teach you individual Instructor Specialties - or you can take advantage of the MSDT Prep Course where you learn to teach 5 Instructor Specialties and be recognised as an experienced and highly qualified Instructor.

We can teach you the following Instructor Specialties:

Enriched Air Nitrox

Prerequisite: Certified Enriched Air Nitrox diver

One of the most popular PADI Specialty courses worldwide. Teach your students about the benefits of diving with enriched air, how to use the PADI EANx tables and an oxygen analyzer. As you need to have logged a total of 10 enriched air dives to become a certified Nitrox Specialty Instructor, we suggest you take the Nitrox Diver course before the IDC so you can apply for your Instructor rating immediately.

Alternatively, if you are not a certified Nitrox Diver at the time of the MSDT Prep course, we offer you a reduced cost Nitrox Diver course immediately prior to your Instructor training, but please note you will still need to complete 10 Nitrox dives before you can apply directly to PADI for the Enriched Air Nitrox Instructor rating.

Search & Recovery Instructor

2 dives

If you have done the PADI Search & Recovery Specialty Course you will remember what a blast it was. Working with lift bags, finding small and large objects and moving objects from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.

If you have not done the course yourself, then you are in for a real treat. The Search & Recovery Instructor course is challenging, fun and is accomplished best by teamwork. It develops navigation skills, underwater communication and teaches you how to use equipment like lift bags, reels, and even tests your knot tying skills! This is one course that is highly underrated, and yet very rewarding for you and your students.

Equipment Specialty Instructor

No Dives

Based on land, use the Instructor rating to show people how our equipment works, make them better prepared to respond to minor problems and have confidence with their own equipment selections. Know the difference between a balanced and unbalanced regulator!    

Digital Underwater Photographer Instructor

1 dive

Professional underwater photographers are using digital cameras and computers to create breathtaking underwater images. With the cost of underwater housings falling, many more amateur photographers are following suit. The Digital Underwater PADI specialty is fun and easy to teach and has a wide target audience.

During this Instructor Course you will become familiar with the new PADI materials and special equipment requirements. The course also includes tips on using computer software to enhance images.

PADI Emergency O2 Provider Instructor

No Dives

A valuable addition to your instructor rating, teach people how to safely administer oxygen and respond correctly wherever they are in the world, or combine it with the Rescue or Divemaster Course.

Wreck Diver Instructor

2 dives

As an experienced diver you may have had opportunities to dive on wrecks before. If you remember the first time you dived on a wreck, you may remember that adrenaline rush and thrill of seeing something that once existed in our world at the bottom of another world.

As a Wreck Specialty Instructor, you learn how to teach one of the most popular PADI Specialty courses including: the pre-planning steps, preparation, safety considerations and penetration setup for safely entering wrecks.

Gas Blender (Enriched Air) Instructor

No Dives

Prerequisite: Enriched Air Diver

Based on land. An essential course for the modern dive professional, this qualifies you to teach divers how to blend the Enriched Air gas that extends our bottom time. Enriched Air is very common in modern diving, so enhance your employment possibilities, and keep diving safe for everyone.

Drift Diver Instructor

1 dive

The Drift Diver Specialty Course focuses on keeping divers together during strong currents and how to use the buddy system more effectively. Your students will gain from the tips and skills learnt during this course. This course is very valuable as it focuses so much on diver safety. Allow your students to explore and learn a whole new level of safer diving with the PADI Drift Diver Specialty Course!

Multilevel Diver Instructor

1 dive

The Multilevel and Computer diver PADI Specialty is what we call "The art of real and safe diving. Real diving, because in the modern world most divers use computers to extend their bottom time. Safer diving, because it is important to plan dives and not blindly follow dive computers alone.

This course is not just teaching divers how to use the eRDPml and dive computers, it is teaching student divers to follow their dive plan and use their computers as back-ups and to follow safe diving practices.

Deep Diver Instructor

2 dives

As an Open Water Scuba Instructor you will have your fair share of teaching PADI Open Water and PADI Advanced courses. This also means that most of the time you will not dive much deeper than 30m. If you enjoy diving deep, then you will have a great time teaching students how to dive deep, safely.

During the Deep Diver Specialty Instructor course we look at special logistics involved when conducting deep dives with students, as well as provide you with some interesting techniques, tips and underwater games/puzzles for use during deep dives to show students the effect of pressure at depth. We also look at the safety considerations for deep dives; such as setting up drop tanks, having emergency equipment quickly available and perfecting emergency action plans for diving emergencies.

If you take 5 Instructor Specialties then you get a EUR 100 discount!

Prerequisites

To enrol in most of the Specialty Instructor training, the candidate must have completed an IDC or OWSI course in the past 12 months.

The theme throughout this introduction to our

IDC's

has been thorough training. We've also stressed the importance of being able to do more than just teach Open Water courses or pass an

IE

Diving is a Fun and immensely rewarding profession, but it demands a lot from those who are to succeed within the industry. As instructors it's important you have a grasp of the business of diving. Employers look for skills beyond basic instructing; maybe in retail sales, an interest in technical diving, regulator servicing skills, resort management or being able to skipper a boat. We have introduced a series of diving related business programs which are discussed below, that will give you the confidence to fully succeed in dive industry of tomorrow.
The Business of Diving.

Positive Approach Selling.

This fast paced video seminar is a look at the attitude toward selling and the salesperson.
The program emphasizes the instructor's role in the retail business, teaching that as a
salesperson you do not have to be pushy or manipulative. There are lots of specific tips,
techniques and strategies that will help you become more successful.

Street Fighting.

Jeff Slutsky's " Street fighting" is your answer to the high cost of advertising and
promotions. Another great video presentation, particularly useful if you're going to start
your own business. Including; An introduction to computers, a look at spreadsheets,
Microsoft Word, booking, stock control & email.

Advanced Strategies for Recruiting and Retraining Enthusiastic Divers.

Teaching more people to dive is the bottom line. The information shared in this program
will help you to attract more people to scuba diving and teach more continuing education
courses.

Dive shop / Resort management & the business of diving.

A hands on look at running a busy dive shop as well as a video and seminar.
A look at stock control, restaurant management, housekeeping and much more.
This complete course will teach you everything about the running of a busy dive shop
including compressor operation, maintenance equipment servicing, store promotion, stock control, boat maintenance, restaurant management and much more. This program takes a minimum of four days.

As an IDC Staff Instructor you work alongside and assist the Course Director on IDCs and can also independently teach the Assistant Instructor course, which consists of the first part of the IDC.

During this course you will work closely with the Course Director during an actual IDC and receive tuition, guidance and feedback throughout. You will learn about IDC standards and evaluation techniques and assist the Course Director in evaluating the IDC candidates on the course. You will also be evaluated on one classroom presentation and one Confined Water presentation during the IDC. We expect you to attend the IDC preparation course, the IDC, the MSDT and the IE and be on hand to support and counsel the IDC candidates alongside the Course Director. Please note you must be a PADI MSDT to be eligible for this course.
