By the time you reach the IE, you will have covered all you need to know to pass with confidence during your IDC with Sail Rock Divers. As a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor candidate you will be tested on your ability to teach diving in classroom sessions, confined water and open water. You will also complete a rescue evaluation, and a demonstration of five different skills from the PADI skill circuit.
Your knowledge of dive theory is assessed by completing five written exams in: Dive Physiology, Diving Related Physics, Dive Equipment, General Scuba Diving Skills and Environment and the Recreational Dive Planner.
Your knowledge of the PADI system will be tested by an open book exam on PADI General Standards and Procedures.
