Become a PADI diving instructor - the Instructor Development Course prepares you to teach and certify divers. Delivered by our Course Director; ask us about dates and prerequisites.
The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) prepares experienced divers and Divemasters to teach scuba and become PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors. Run with a PADI Course Director, the IDC covers teaching methods, standards, skill demonstration, classroom and confined/open-water presentations, and rescue assessment, finishing with the two-day Instructor Examination (IE). We'll guide you through every stage in Hurghada and help you prepare thoroughly for the IE.
You'll need to have been a certified diver for at least six months, hold Divemaster, and have the required logged dives and a current medical. EFR Instructor is also required and can be arranged. Contact us to plan dates, prerequisites and pricing for the full instructor path.
Training as an instructor in Hurghada means learning in warm, forgiving water with reliable conditions almost year-round, ideal for polishing your teaching presentations. We keep candidate numbers low so you get real attention from the Course Director at every step.
After completing the IDC and passing the Instructor Examination you become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, qualified to teach and certify divers.
You must be a PADI Divemaster (or equivalent), 18+, a diver for at least six months, with 60+ logged dives (100 to attend the IE) and a current dive medical.
Yes — the IDC is built around preparing you for the Instructor Examination, with practice presentations, exams and plenty of feedback.
