DIVE WORLD AUSTIN

The PADI Divemaster course is your first level of professional training. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you’ll fine-tune your dive skills, like perfecting the effortless hover, and refine your rescue skills so you anticipate and easily solve common problems.

The Emergency First Response Instructor Course assures that you understand the course structure, requirements and procedures for three(3) courses, EFR Primary/Secondary Care, Care for Children, and CPR/AED. In keeping with successful teaching philosophy, the course prepares you to teach low stress, student-centered and performance-based programs. 

The  (AI) Assistant Instructor course is the first part of an (IDC) Instructor Development Course which is divided into Two Parts – AI and OWSI (Open Water Scuba Instructor). It is a great option for PADI Divemasters who want to gain additional knowledge and skills to act as a more effective certified assistant.  The course teaches you how to introduce new knowledge and skills independently or with minimal supervision.   

The Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) course is Part Two of the Instructor Development Course (IDC).  This program allows dive professionals to continue training to become PADI Instructors or to regain teaching status as a PADI Instructor.  It is also for Scuba Instructors from other organizations to learn about the PADI System of education and prepare to attend an IE.

The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of two parts – the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor course (OWSI). Most students decide to complete an entire IDC which prepares them to attend the IE –Instructor Examination -which is required to become a PADI Instructor.
