Divemaster to PADI Instructor This course is designed for the individual who is at least a Rescue diver and wants to become a PADI Open Water Instructor in the shortest amount of time. This 4-week course will take you through the Divemaster Course, the Instructors Development Course and finally the Instructors Exams.
During the Divemaster program you will learn how to observe, assist and supervise certain diving activities. Your diving skills are tested and perfected. There is also a series of academic lectures for diving related subjects. A session of water stamina exercises is also completed. An added bonus is a session on how to manage groups in boat dives and give clear, complete dive briefings. This is a very serious responsibility and must be learned properly to ensure the divers safety both on the boats and in the water.
Lastly comes the Instructors Development Course, this is where you learn to teach. This course prepares you to pass the final Instructors Exams. As with all the courses at Cayman Diving College, the classroom session are relaxed, and the diving is done from both shore and from our boats giving you a wide variety of dive sites. Your professional instructors help you through every step of the course, giving additional guidance as needed. You will also gain your Emergency First Response Instructor and your Emergency Oxygen Instructors ratings.
To make you an Instructor with more hirable training, you should consider adding on the (MSDT) Master Scuba Diver Trainer, which will be offered at the conclusion of the IDC & IE. With an Instructor rating in these areas, you will be in the select group of instructors who have much more to offer a prospective employer.
At Cayman Diving College, we believe in giving you a top quality experience. At the conclusion of your course you will be well prepared for your new career as a PADI Open Water Instructor.
