Earn your PADI Instructor rating in the warm, biodiverse waters off Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), where teaching dives at sites like Nemo Reef and Lighthouse let you hone skill demonstrations on healthy fringing coral. The Andaman Sea's typically flat, 28°C water and long visibility make it an ideal classroom to prepare for the Instructor Examination. You'll train surrounded by clownfish, parrotfish and the occasional passing turtle.
PADI's IDC uses eLearning and the PADI Touch teaching system, and graduates issue PADI digital certification cards; instructors are also encouraged to teach Project AWARE conservation specialties.
Instructor training dives run at sheltered Havelock reefs such as Nemo Reef and Lighthouse, which stay diveable even in the June-August monsoon when fish-spawning fills the reefs. Confined skills are practised in shallow, calm bays before moving to open-water sites with abundant clownfish, parrotfish and reef turtles. Depths stay within recreational limits, usually 12-18 metres.
