PADI Pro - Open Water Scuba Instructor

The PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) course is a 5-day class designed to prepare qualified candidates to become PADI Instructors. This course is scheduled during the last 5 days of our Instructor Development Course (IDC.) Either the OWSI course or the entire IDC must be completed before attending the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

Scuba instructors certified by other organizations may cross over to PADI by successfully completing the OWSI course and the IE.

Combining the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the OWSI course into a continuous program makes up the entire IDC.
