PADI Staff Instructor
The IDC Staff Instructor course is designed to provide instructors who are PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainers, with additional training and experience. Since this certification is necessary to staff on PADI IDC programs, being a Staff Instructor will boost your income. While offering great career opportunities, you gain valuable experience. You will join an actual IDC held at Coral Divers while being trained and mentored by our inhouse PADI Course Director.
Why Do It?
- Independently teach and certify PADI Assistant Instructors (AI).
- Teach the AI portion of the Academic, Confined Water and Open Water teaching presentations.
- Provide counselling and extra training for IDC and IDC Staff Instructor candidates.
- Assist with training during instructor-level Continuing Education programs, such as PADI Specialty Instructor training courses.
Whats Involved?

The PADI Staff Instructor Course builds your experience and abilities, while concentrating on developing your evaluation and counselling skills. During this course you will have a pre-assessment with your Course Director, present Knowledge Development sessions to the candidates on the IDC. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to evaluate IDC candidates in line with the Course Director and attend the entire IDC program.
A brief introduction to the basics starts you off. After this, a short presentation and quick review will assess that you have covered all you need to know.
In the pool is where the fun really begins! You will complete a pool session, whilst learning and practising dive procedures and skills. You will do this under the direct supervision of your instructor in our training pool, at a depth of 3m max.
You will then go through to our Beach Shuttle with your instructor accompanying you to the dive boat launch area. Here you will join your instructor on an exciting ‘open water’ dive on 2 Mile Reef.
You will need to have all the following boxes ticked, in order to apply…
- Be an active status PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (Open Water Instructor who has certified 25 students and is certified to teach 5 PADI Specialty courses).
- Be a currently renewed Emergency First Response Instructor.
- Agree to conduct all PADI certification courses and experience programs, using methods in line with PADI standards and philosophy.
- Agree to use the PADI System and components as they appear.
Further to the requirements for an IDC, you’ll also need a Course Director Manual and the Confined and Open Water Teaching Evaluation Slates.
As a dive professional, you should have your own full set of scuba gear already, including a dive computer (or dive watch), compass, dive knife, slate, RDP dive table and 2 Surface Signaling devices – one audible and one visible (e.g., Whistle and Deploy Buoy).
Finally, you will need to have 2 x ID-style Photographs (name and date of birth on the back) and proof of certification.
The full Staff Instructor Course, your Course Director Manual ‘Crewpak’ and 14 nights in a Safari Tent. Please remember that you need to bring your own bedding for the tents, but you may upgrade to a Standard Cabin or Ensuite Cabin if you prefer. Your meals (dinner and breakfast daily) are included for the duration, but not park fees.
You’ll also receive a code from PADI, along with your PADI Course Director Manual Crewpak (included in our price). This provides proof that you have purchased the required materials for the Staff Instructor Course.
