Go Pro & IDC

Interested in a professional career in diving, whether part-time or full-time, back home or while travelling? Then you'll want to attain the PADI Divemaster rating.

After completing your Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver training, you'll work closely with a PADI Instructor to expand your diving skills and knowledge to the professional level. Then, in the most fulfilling part of your course, you'll learn and practice supervising diving activities and assisting with student training.

The course can take anything from 2 weeks to 2 months plus, depending on your preparation and how quickly you wish to work through the knowledge and skills portions of the course. Go Pro, and open the door to a fun and rewarding underwater career!

You're already a PADI Divemaster? It just takes 10 days to be ready to become a PADI Instructor through the Instructor Development Course (IDC), which encompasses both the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. The course is intense, fun, demanding and exciting all at the same time. You will make new friends and share rewarding life experiences while earning some of the most coveted credentials in the dive industry.

In the comfort of our spacious air-conditioned classrooms you will be taught about 'Learning Instruction and the PADI System': how to give presentations and effectively use PADI teaching aids and support materials. The classrooms are open at all times, allowing candidates to study in peace and quiet whenever they need. You will learn how to present and conduct confined water and open water dives. Calypso's facilities, with our on-site training pool and beach-front location close to the boat station, provide you with convenient locations to practice your water skills. Under the expert and knowledgeable tuition of our Course Director and IDC Staff Instructors here at Calypso: learn, practice and enjoy! When you complete the IDC, you will have been trained and prepared to successfully attend the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).
