The formula for happiness is really quite simple: Find what it is that you love to do and then get people to pay you for doing it.  =)

This is the reason why many certified divers and water-loving people like yourself often choose to continue their path all the way up to PADI Instructor.  With Scuba Dogs you have two (2) options: Teach Swim & Water Safety or teach SCUBA.

Following you’ll find the information.  Please consider Scuba Dogs as you follow the path to an extraordinary life doing what you love.  ♥

PADI SCUBA INSTRUCTOR

The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of two (2) parts: the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water SCUBA Instructor (OWSI) program. Most dive professionals complete the entire IDC including both together. This is the way we like to offer the training to prepare you for the Instructor Examination (IE), which is your final step directly with a PADI Examiner to earn your PADI Instructor certification.
