Completing the Assistant Instructor Course is a great next step for PADI Divemasters. The AI Course is the first part of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). It builds upon your Divemaster training and introduces you to the role of an instructional assistant, both in academic teaching, and confined & Open Water Training.
Take the next step towards becoming a PADI Instructor. Share your passion for the aquatic world while doing what you love. And what better place to do it than on the beautiful island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand.
To start the Assistant Instructor course you need to be at least 18 years old and certified as a PADI Divemaster (or an equivalent certification from another training organization).

To start any PADI professional course you need a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
During the AI course you will build upon your abilities to organize and supervise scuba diving activities as well as develop your teaching skills. After receiving the IDC Crew Pak, through your PADI eLearning account you’ll have 13 interactive knowledge development sections to complete. Topics covered include:
You’ll practice presenting confined and open water teaching presentations, knowledge development presentations and complete a standards exam and a rescue skills assessment.
The AI course takes a minimum of 6 days. We can also spread it out over a longer period if needed or work it around your schedule. Contact Us for more information and we'll help find the perfect schedule for you.
