We respect many of the great diving agencies around the world and we welcome those who have already completed both diver and instructor training with agencies such as BSAC, CMAS, NAUI, SSI, SDI and many more besides. PADI will extend your diving and teaching abilities in to every corner of the globe being the largest certifying agency in the world and give you a great breadth of knowledge and skills which are very well structured and masterful.

Providing you meet the prerequisites to join us on a crossover program you will complete the OWSI (Open Water Scuba Instructor) part of the IDC. Please email us for a personal program overview with your current certification levels idc@protechdivers.com

PADI OWSI rating is the first PADI Instructor level. During your 5-day OWSI, you review PADI Standards, procedures, philosophy and teaching methods as well as hone your practical teaching ability, watermanship and diving knowledge. After successfully completing a PADI Instructor Examination (IE), you are able to introduce people to scuba diving through various PADI programs and courses. PADI OWSI may conduct the entire range of PADI programs from experience programs up to Divemaster.
