Cross the line from leading dives to teaching them with the PADI Instructor Development Course on Fujairah's east coast, the most accessible scuba base near Dubai. The calm, shore-accessible reefs around Dibba Rock and Snoopy Island give instructor candidates a controlled, forgiving environment to rehearse confined- and open-water teaching presentations before sitting the independent Instructor Examination. You finish ready to certify your own students and join the global community of PADI professionals.
The PADI IDC trains and assesses you against PADI standards and prepares you for the Instructor Examination, which is conducted independently 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 Fujairah's calm, shore-accessible reefs such as Dibba Rock, a protected marine reserve, and Snoopy Island, where settled conditions through the October-to-May peak season make an ideal low-stress classroom. The independent Instructor Examination is conducted separately by a PADI Examiner at a designated IE location.
