Become a PADI SCUBA Instructor !

Join us for our next Instructor Development Course.

Spend this winter working in a tropical paradise as a PADI SCUBA Instructor.

Based in the tropical Bocas Del Toro, on the Caribbean side of Panama, Bocas Dive Center is the only 5* IDC SCUBA diving shop in the region.

Our bespoke location offers Instructor candidates an exclusive, on-site dive site on which to practice and hone their skills - MAYDAY.

Course Director Momo and his team of Staff Instructors can deliver the course in Spanish and English, and are always on-hand to offer guidance to all candidates.

You will enjoy smaller, more intimate groups, offering more time with Staff Instructors and lots of time to practice ahead of the Instructor Exam - for which we enjoy a 100% pass rate.

Get in touch today to secure your space on the next PADI Instructor Candidate Course (IDC) and join us here in paradise.

Taught over 12 days, the IDC has both water and classroom sessions that expand on the knowledge you already have as a PADI Divemaster (those with similar ratings from another agency can cross over to the appropriate part of the course).

The IDC expands on how to teach PADI courses, both the skills and the knowledge portions. It demonstrates how to make best use of all the PADI facilities available to professional members. It gives candidates an opportunity to practice and hone all these skills before they undertake the final two-day Instructor Exam.

The path to becoming a professional Scuba Instructor requires dedication, commitment and passion. At Go Pro Bocas Dive Center, we spend time with our candidates to allow them to get as much practice as they wish in order to feel confident and have fun taking part in their final exams.

Bocas Dive Center is the only PADI 5* IDC center in Bocas Del Toro. We offer the very best and newest equipment, specially-designed spacious dive boats, air conditioned classrooms for our students (if they don’t want to study on the dock on sun loungers), and all year round dive sites.

Watch this video to hear from previous Divemaster and IDC candidates’ experience of becoming a Scuba professional at Bocas Dive Center.
