PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI) – Bali.

PADI Platinum Course Director SF Chong’s PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) course is a 6-days class designed to prepare qualified candidates to become PADI Instructors in Bali.

This course is scheduled during the last 6 days of our Instructor Development Course (IDC.) Either the OWSI program or the entire IDC must be completed before attending the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). Combining the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the OWSI program in to a continuous program makes up the entire IDC.

Scuba instructors certified by other organizations may cross over to PADI by successfully completing the OWSI program and the IE. You will need to arrive the day before to complete the Orientation though so it is a 6-½ day course.

Please consult Course Director SF Chong for advice. Chong’s advice will be based on your attitude, experience, level of dive knowledge, diving ability, overall understanding of the dive market and consumer attitudes, and your ability to grasp new concepts through independent study. Remedial training, additional IDC curriculum presentations, or full IDC with or without the Pre-study and preparation workshop may be advised.
