      PADI IDC in China

      Scuba Cat Diving on Phuket has teamed up with Big Blue, Shanghai, to run a PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) during November 2009 with their Platinum Course Director, Christophe Pace.

      The Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) programme is one of two distinct components of PADI’s IDC. The first portion is the Assistant Instructor Course (AI), followed by the Open Water Scuba Instructor programme itself – both of which will also be available in Chinese.

      The OWSI programme introduces the candidates to the entire PADI system of diver education and concentrates on further developing abilities as a professional dive educator.

      The fun part of instructor training is interacting with course participants while creating friendships that continue long after the course concludes. You’ll also begin networking with other professionals and begin to explore PADI Pro Diving Jobs worldwide.

      If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Sarah Kench at Scuba Cat Diving.
