This takes the Assistant Instructor (AI), Instructor with another training organization or person attending a whole IDC program the next step in their PADI Instructor Development. OWSI Candidates joining an Indepth IDC program would only be required to attend the only last 6 days.

The PADI Instructor Crossover Course - the OWSI program

The OWSI program allows Instructors already certified with a recreational diving training agency other than PADI to "crossover" to PADI.

This is a great way to take advantage of market demands and be able to offer your employers and customers PADI courses and programs as well as your current certifying agency.

The course comprises of the last 6 days of an Indepth IDC, thus candidates joining an existing IDC program would attend only the final 6 days ..

Instructors from other training agencies are invited and encouraged to attend the whole IDC program - at the reduced OWSI cost !!!
