PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor on Tenerife (PADI OWSI)
You want to become a PADI Diving Instructor? You already are a Divemaster but want to go further?
The logical next step in your diving career is to take the IDC Course to become a Dive Instructor, or correctly PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) and teach what you love. The benefits are clear:
- Actually teach diving courses on your own (not only assisting them)
- Increase your prospects on the global job market worldwide by highly improving your value
- Be able to not only teach beginners, but up to the PADI Divemaster level, Specialities and even AWARE Courses about Marine Protection
- PADI is the biggest organisation worldwide, which gives you the greatest oportunities
- Certify divers under your name!
Being a PADI Diving Instructor is not only fun and one of the most rewarding jobs, but working with PADI will assure you a title that’s highly valued at dive centers all around the world.
How Do You Get There?
The only path to becoming a Diving Instructor is by completing the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)*, followed by the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). However, your learning journey shouldn’t stop with gaining your certification.
If your goal is to become a really good, but also experienced PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, then our Instructor Internship on Tenerife is your best choice. After completing your Instructor Examination, your training continues! During the internship, we guide and support you as you take your first steps as a new instructor. Our aim is simple: to guide you in becoming the best instructor possible. We go beyond standard training, providing the experience and safety skills essential for success at dive centers worldwide.
If you do the internship with us, our concept consists of three parts: it starts with intensive two weeks of courses and exams, followed by two weeks of evaluated teaching where you will learn to teach good Open Water Diver Courses, and finally, a 13-weeks internship.
*The IDC is conducted by an external PADI Course Director.
