Go Pro with the PADI Assistant Instructor Course

PADI Go Pro Challenge

The PADI Assistant Instructor course is run over 4-5 days and is aimed at PADI Divemasters who want to become PADI Instructors. Its primary focus is developing the underwater skills needed to teach PADI courses, it can therefore be run as part of the PADI Divemaster course or as a stand-alone course. It is run on Bunaken which means that you can Go Pro whilst diving one of the top dive locations of North Sulawesi and Indonesia.

Only at PADI 5 Star Dive Resorts - the Assistant Instructor (AI) courses can only be done at PADI 5 Star Dive Resorts or PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Dive Resorts, and Two Fish Divers is the only one one of these centers on Bunaken Island.

Assistant Instructor Course and the PADI Instructor Development Program

50024_5Star_IDDResortWeb-3

The foundation of the PADI Instructor Development Program is the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). The IDC course consists of two parts — the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Combining the three-day AI course and the four-day OWSI program into a continuous program makes up a seven day IDC.

Advantage of AI Course

The AI Course is the most important practical part of the IDC as it is concerned with your teaching skills for teaching PADI courses.  Doing the AI Course outside the structure of the IDC gives you the flexibility to learn teaching skills over a longer period of time, without the rigid IDC timetable. The course takes 3/4-days and can be done as a  stand-alone course or as an add-on at the end of the Divemaster Course/Internship.

Assistant Instructors can function as instructional assistants and independently conduct certain PADI programs. It is therefore also a great way to get more teaching experience before attending your IDC.

"The things you taught me last year during my DM/AI internship proved
very valuable indeed. Especially the practical experience I got
working in a real environment with real students, this was a great asset
during the IDC. Thank you for giving me such a solid foundation for my
professional diving career!"
