Your Scuba Career and the PADI System of Diver
Education
Please click on the links below to view information
Looking at a flowchart for the PADI System of diver education,
one might conclude that its purpose is to take you to PADI Open
Water Scuba Instructor. But that is not it at all!
Becoming a PADI Divemaster, or Instructor, isn’t the purpose
of the system, but a result of achieving its purpose.
The purpose of the PADI System is to provide the means by which
you:
1) meet dive people,
2) go places diving,
3) do things underwater. Sound familiar?
Turning Pro:
At some point, you may decide to make diving a full or part time
profession. For a lot of people, it beats working at a desk, and
if you love working at a desk, you can still turn pro and become
the most in-demand dive professional in the dive industry.
It takes effort and commitment to become a PADI Open Water Scuba
Instructor, but each step rewards you – and you’re diving.
Meeting people. Going places. Doing things.

Our 3-Phase Scuba Career Program
 This
program is designed for candidates who are PADI Open Water, Advanced
or Rescue divers.
In order to take part in the Instructor Examination you have
to have been certified as an Open Water diver for at least 6 months.
In addition you will need 100 logged dives.
Since Dive Asia is a PADI Career Development Center you can participate
in the IE prior to meeting the experience requirement of 100 dives,
when enrolled in five of the CDC's pre- and/or post-IDC courses.
Candidates who successfully complete a PADI IDC conducted by
the CDC may attend a PADI IE if they have been certified divers
for at least six months, have logged at least 60 dives and are
certified PADI Assistant Instructors. Certification as a PADI
Open Water Scuba Instructor will take place when the 100 dives
requirement has been met.
