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.
Following is the information to find your path to an extraordinary life doing what you love with Scuba Dogs. You can easily turn “paying for diving” into “getting paid to dive”.

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.
In addition, our training includes the full training required to become a certified medic first aid Instructor under the Emergency First Response (EFR) program. This is a fundamental component for the rescue training you’ll be properly trained and certified to teach through PADI.
Once your IDC training is completed with your assigned Course Director, Scuba Dogs will then assist you in coordinating directly with PADI Headquarters Offices to schedule the final IE examination for you and your accompanying candidates.
We are committed with providing the highest level of training excellence in the industry and we’ll be more than happy to provide our service to you.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. We’re here to serve and we love it!
