Choosing the best PADI IDC to become a diving instructor can be challenging. There are so many options, and they all claim to be the \u2018best\u2019 PADI IDC! We like to be a bit more modest, but we do think that our PADI IDC program is pretty unique!<\/p>\n
In this series of blog posts we\u2019d like to point out what makes our instructor course unique! This time: Multiple amazing locations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get taught by a Course Director with over 23 years of experience in the diving industry. Having certified more than 1,000 professionals, and with a background as a dive instructor and dive center manager in multiple locations Southeast Asia. You\u2019ll get plenty of tips, tricks, and advice about real-life teaching situations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preparing for the Instructor Exam (IE) is important, but our focus goes beyond that. As skillful and experienced as the PADI examiners may be, the exam is always a role playing game of instructors and students \u2018making mistakes\u2019.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we don\u2019t just train you to \u201cget through the IE.\u201d We focus on making you a confident, capable instructor who feels at home teaching in the pool, the classroom, and the open water. By the time you sit your IE, it will feel like just another step\u2014not the final goal.<\/p>\n

We pack in a lot more skills than in the standard IDC. For example, we\u2019ll practice teaching all the skills from the Rescue Diver course. This will give you more confidence to teach this course and handle emergency situations yourself. There will be plenty of time to fine-tune all your diving skills so you can build confidence and competence, preparing you for any teaching situation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nothing prepares you better than hands-on experience. That\u2019s why we offer co-teaching opportunities, after the IDC. Working alongside experienced instructors gives you the chance to apply what you\u2019ve learned, gain confidence in front of real students, and get ready to start teaching PADI courses by yourself.<\/p>\n

At Asia Scuba Instructors we like to think that we offer a pretty unique PADI IDC program. Generally, candidates who sign up for our PADI IDC are not looking for the ‘cheapest option’, or for the ‘easiest way’ to get their PADI instructor rating.<\/p>\n
They recognize that we are fully comitted to support our candidates in a unique way – before, during, and long after the IDC.<\/p>\n
We run PADI IDC’s every month in multiple locations around Asia.<\/p>\n
