Make the move from leading dives to teaching them with the PADI Instructor Development Course in Muscat, set against Oman's calm reefs at Bandar Khayran and the Daymaniyat Islands. The sheltered, clear coastal water gives instructor candidates a forgiving classroom to rehearse teaching presentations and master standards before the independent Instructor Examination. You finish ready to certify divers of your own as a member of the global PADI professional community.
The PADI IDC trains and assesses you against PADI standards, then prepares you for the Instructor Examination, conducted independently by a PADI Examiner. On passing the IE you become a teaching member of PADI with a renewable instructor certification, professional insurance access and the worldwide PADI jobs network.
Teaching workshops use the sheltered, clear waters of Bandar Khayran and reefs near Muscat, where calm conditions in the September-to-April season make an ideal, low-stress environment to rehearse confined- and open-water teaching. The Instructor Examination is conducted separately by a PADI Examiner at a designated IE location.
