Become a PADI professional in Sharm El Sheikh, one of the world's leading instructor-training destinations thanks to its year-round diving and wide range of sites. The Instructor Development Course prepares you to teach across the PADI system, with confined and open-water teaching practice on Red Sea reefs before the Instructor Examination. It is the path to a global diving career.
PADI runs the IDC in two stages (AI and OWSI) followed by the independent Instructor Examination. Success grants the right to teach and certify PADI divers worldwide.
Sharm's sheltered reefs make good confined and open-water teaching environments, while nearby walls and wrecks give candidates the variety needed to teach across the curriculum, all in reliable 20-30m visibility and warm 24-28C water year-round.
