If you love scuba diving and enjoy being around people, the PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) course is a fantastic way to test the waters of becoming a dive professional. This stand-alone course allows you to assist PADI Instructors in teaching various courses, giving you a taste of what it’s like to be an instructor without committing to the full Instructor Development Course (IDC) yet. Plus, it's a necessary step before advancing to the IDC, ensuring you are fully prepared for the challenges of being an instructor.

 

As an Assistant Instructor, you’ll gain valuable experience in both the classroom and underwater environments, refining your teaching and leadership skills. Plus, you can even teach the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty course on your own! It’s a perfect way to build confidence, improve your diving abilities, and share your passion with others.

​

So, if you’re eager to enhance your dive career and discover if becoming a full-fledged instructor is right for you, the PADI AI course is your gateway to a new adventure!
