Become a PADI Instructor. Take your PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC) in Kenya. The PADI IDC is being taught to the brand new 2019 updated curriculum. This incorporates PADI Touch eLearning, to enable you to complete many of the presentations prior to arrival on the IDC. The IDC is conducted by Award-Winning PADI Course Director Mark Slingo and a team of PADI IDC Staff Instructors, with the program lasting 10 days.
And what about diving when you are not on the IDC? Well when it comes to scuba diving coral reefs, Kenya is up there with the best of them.
Ocean Tribe’s dive base in Diani Beach is located on one of the world’s top 10 rated beaches and is consistently rated the best in Africa. The palm tree-lined white powder sands run down to azure waters where the fringing coral reefs can be found only 100m offshore.
The Ocean Tribe PADI Instructor Development Course incorporates the Assistant Instructor Course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor Course. The whole program takes place over 8-16 days, followed by a 2-day instructor exam, conducted by an incoming PADI Instructor Examiner.

The experience can be as short as 10 days including the IE with our LIVE online presentation option with the full IDC onsite taking 16 days or up to 22 with the MSDT prep option
