If you have a passion for diving and a passion for teaching, a rewarding career as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor is just around the corner. Become a teacher and mentor to students of all ages from all around the world, eager to become divers themselves. Get paid to do and teach what you love. Quicksilver Dive's Instructor Development Course (IDC) is a two-week program designed to give you the tools to become the best PADI Dive Instructor possible.

After completion of the IDC and Instructors Exam, you will have the opportunity to teach an Open Water Course under the supervision of our Course Director.
