The DiveLife GO PRO Gold package will take you from your current starting point as a non-diver through the PADI Master Scuba Diver Program to PADI Open Water Instructor.
What do I need to start?
You will need to purchase a full set of equipment once you reach Rescue Diver. It is important that every professional has their own equipment
What will I do?
You will be taught from the outset, not just to pass each course, but to perfect each skill necessary, with the ultimate goal of becoming an Instructor in mind.
The Go Pro Gold package takes you through the PADI Open Water Course, Advanced Open Water Course, EFR, First Aid and Rescue Courses.
Also included in the GO PRO Gold package are five speciality courses to help you learn more about being a PADI Professional. These include Drysuit, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Project Aware, National Geographic and Equipment Specialities. We have chosen these to give you a good foundation in UK diving and to help perfect you skills, learn about the environment and how to maintain some equipment found in Dive Centres.
The next course takes you through the PADI Divemaster program which ensures a broad spectrum of theory is covered as well as giving you the opportunity to perfect your skills to demonstration quality as well as supervising students and guiding divers.
Once you have completed the Divemaster Course the next step is to learn to pass on your knowledge to students by becoming an Instructor. This is split into two distinct sections, the Assistant Instructor Course and the Instructor Development Course, which are usually taken relatively closely together. Both courses train you how to teach the knowledge you gained whilst completing your training through to Divemaster.
The Assistant Instructor course guides you through teaching both the theory and the confined water skills.
The Instructor Development course then leads you on to teaching in Open Water and continuing education skills allow you to teach through to Divemaster level.
Once the IDC has been completed you can then apply to PADI to take The Instructor Exam (IE) which will allow you to qualify to become a PADI Open Water Instructor.
How long will it take?
Going from a non diver through to the respected level of PADI Instrcutor will take hours, days, weeks and months ofdedication. This is a career path and once you complete the program you will be teaching people to safely dive by themselves.
Aim to take twelve months to comlete this as a minimum
What will I need?
A sense of adventure
Where can I go from here?
