Cross from leading divers to teaching them with the PADI Instructor Development Course in Cyprus, finishing ready to sit the Instructor Examination and certify students of your own. The warm, calm Mediterranean off Ayia Napa and Protaras, with sheltered training bays such as Green Bay and the world-renowned Zenobia wreck nearby, gives candidates a forgiving year-round classroom to rehearse confined- and open-water teaching presentations before the IE.
The PADI IDC trains and assesses you against PADI standards, then prepares you for the Instructor Examination, which is conducted separately by a PADI Examiner. On passing the IE you become a teaching member of PADI with a renewable Open Water Scuba Instructor rating, professional insurance access and the worldwide PADI jobs network.
Teaching workshops use the sheltered bays around Ayia Napa and Protaras, including beginner-friendly Green Bay, while open-water practice draws on local reef and wreck sites; the calm Mediterranean and a long April-to-November season keep conditions settled for rehearsing presentations.
