We run OWSI courses both in the UK and in Sharm El Sheikh

This course is designed to hone your skills as a dive educator and give you a thorough understanding of how to make best use of the PADI system of diver education. It’s about applying the teaching skills you have learned, and understanding about the bigger picture of being an instructor and your role within a dive centre. Working with our team we will share with you our practical experience from running dive centres and multiple courses both in the UK and overseas resorts environments

Upon successful completion of this course you will take the instructor Exams (IE). The IE is an independant evaluation of your diving and educational skills.
