DIVING INSTRUCTOR... WHY? Many are the Dive Instructors saying that their first dive was an unforgettable moment... a magical experience that has transformed their life forever. The main reason people transform their life to become a Dive Instructor, is that diving and being underwater inspire them so much, they want to pass onto others, their passion and knowledge. Understanding that scuba Diving transformed their life on a positive way, Instructors are again experiencing, through the students they are teaching, their own transformation process. Being a Dive Instructor will give you as well possibilities to participate actively in activities such as underwater clean-ups, coral protection and conservation, eco-education for general public, especially kids, regarding conservation and protection of the environment, and many more...
	THE INSTRUCTOR COURSE... WHERE? Scuba Diving in Indonesia is like diving in paradise, or to be more specific, in the world biggest underwater bio-diversity... A paradise made of 17.508 islands, sheltering thousands of underwater "Garden of Eden". Becoming Dive Instructor in Indonesia, it is the opportunity for you, to do dives, unique in the world... Just imagine you are conducting a discover scuba diving experience in 10 metres water, and a whale shark is passing slowly nearby you and your group. Another time some eagle rays are coming to have a look at your mask removal & replacement demonstration, which anyway is useless because your students only have eyes for the rays lying on the crystal sandy bottom. You are doing your briefing on the dive boat's deck, and a group of dolphins suddenly appear, surfing in the ...(etrave) of the boat, it is a Manta jumping out of the water, looking like a devil with its horns & black cape, just in front of the amazed eyes of your students... It would be too long to tell you all encounters you could experienced while diving in Indonesia. Why not coming and experienced these magical moments yourself?

	DIVE INSTRUCTOR... THEN?

Ready to start a new career, a new life. And like in all career, you will need to progress, to upgrade yourself, to increase your knowledge, to be able to "Climb the Ladder" and access to new possibilities, new opportunities, which will bring you a greater income.

Would you like to teach Underwater Naturalism, Coral Conservation or Altitude diving?

In the "M.S.D.T." section of this website, you will find all information on the PADI Instructor Specialties proposed by 1-2-dive.com, as well as the PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating, the next step once you are a PADI O.W.S.I.
INSTRUCTOR OF... INSTRUCTORS? And, maybe one day, you might want to pass onto others your teaching experience as a Dive Instructor, or your professional knowledge of the underwater eco-system... You know, the same feeling you had when you wanted to teach divers, but now you are willing to teach Instructor Candidates. It is the third Instructor degree in the PADI system, and is called a PADI Instructor Development Course Staff Instructor (I.D.C.S.I.). In the "I.D.C. Staff" section, you will get more information. The I.D.C. Staff Instructor can teach and certified PADI Assistant Instructor, but as well, under the direction of a Course Director, train PADI Instructor Candidates within their I.D.C. To get to this level you will have follow an I.D.C. again... However, this time it won't be as an Instructor Candidate, but more as... Staff Instructor Candidate of Instructor Candidates! Cool, don’t you think? The last levels of instructor, in the PADI system, are not accessible anymore by courses but more by experience. When you will have teach in 2 PADI I.D.C., and certified a minimum of 150 student divers, you could apply for the respected rating of "PADI Master Instructor", the last step before the "PADI Course Director".
