PADI open water scuba instructor course in Asia, Malaysia, Borneo, Bali Indonesia
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) course is a 6-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 program or the entire IDC must be completed before attending the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). Combining the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the OWSI program in to a continuous program makes up the entire IDC.
Scuba instructors certified by other organizations may cross over to PADI by successfully completing the OWSI program and the IE. You will need to arrive the day before to complete the Orientation though so it is a 6-½ day course.


PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor prerequisites:
- PADI Assistant Instructor certification (or other qualifying organization)
- Certified diver for at least six months 60 logged dives (with experience in night, deep, and navigation)
- Proof of CPR and first aid training within the last 24 months.
