About this course
The course is divided into key components: academic development (physics, physiology, standards and teaching theory), confined water training (demonstration quality skills and control), open water training (course structure, safety and problem management), and practical teaching presentations in both classroom and in-water environments. Throughout the programme, candidates receive personalised coaching, daily feedback, and continuous skill refinement to meet—and exceed—SSI Instructor standards.
A typical day combines theory and practical application. Mornings often begin with academic workshops or presentations, followed by confined or open water sessions where you practice demonstrations and teaching scenarios. Afternoons focus on workshops, candidate teaching presentations, rescue assessments, and standards reviews. The schedule is intensive but balanced, with a strong focus on building real-world teaching confidence rather than just passing the Instructor Evaluation.
The ITC is open to certified Divemasters (SSI, PADI or equivalent) who meet the prerequisites for professional-level training, including current first aid/CPR certification and a medical clearance to dive. It’s ideal for those looking to start a career in diving or take the next serious step as a dive professional in a supportive, high-quality training environment.
