Become a PADI Assistant Instructor on Koh Tao

You have worked hard to become a Divemaster and you are now ready to put a little more effort and enthusiasm into becoming an Assistant Instructor.
Throughout your Dive Master training you will have had lots of fun, done some beautiful dives and met lots of people! Likewise, throughout your training to become and AI, nothing will change. Conducted over a course of 4 days, in conjunction with the instructor training course (IDC), under relaxed and professional conditions, you can discover both the teaching aids and specific skills for conducting courses both in confined and open water.

In continuing your professional training with the PADI assistant instructor course the program will strengthen your understanding of learning and teaching within the PADI system. This will consist of two modules: Development and application of knowledge and diving skills.

A PADI assistant instructor is a diving educator who organises and supervises the knowledge development and activities in confined and open water. An assistant instructor works alongside a PADI instructor to provide students with a good level of theory knowledge and excellent diving skills throughout PADI programs and courses. The teaching skills acquired, will allow an assistant instructor to independently conduct many PADI programs, and thanks to additional training, permit them to teach non-diving specialties as well as the Emergency First Response course.
