Assistant Instructor

Share your underwater adventures with others! Pass on your enthusiasm to beginning divers. If you like that, then the Assistant Instructor course is for you.

As an Assistant Instructor you are responsible for the safety of your students and fellow divers. With the IDD Assistant Instructor course you will further expand your knowledge and skills as a Divemaster. This course is designed for the interested sport diver who would like to assist a professional instructor in his spare time to develop his hobby further. Extensive attention is given to your didactic and practical skills. After this course you can assist with diving instructions, independently give various diving courses and you can also certify these. You can also organise and supervise all kinds of diving activities at diving schools, diving resorts and liveaboards, both at home and abroad. If you get the hang of assisting in training then this is the ideal stepping stone to a full instructor course.
