Professional Level Courses - Go Pro

The professional level begins with the Rescue Course, which is the first course where you begin to focus on other divers. The Emergency First Response Course (EFR) is a prerequisite for the Recsue Course, or you can have equivalent training by the Red Cross or other organization that is valid within the last 2 years (24 months).

Once you have achieved the Rescue Certification and have 40 logged dives, you can enter the Dive Master Program, the first professional level. You must have 60 logged dives by the end of the Dive Master Course in order to apply for a PADI pro membership at the Dive Master level.

The next step is Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI), for which you must have 100 logged dives to enter an IDC (Instructor Development Course). It is also now required to be an EFR Instructor (EFRI) to become a PADI Instructor.

Check the IDC schedule and special offer on our Divers International site!

Due to the extensive training and duraton at the professional level, a pre-booking discount is not available, however we do make discounted packages that include the materials, which is decided on a case by case basis. We also have a special offer to take the EFRI + AI + OWSI all at the same time.

Below is the progression for the courses, along with the price for each course: (Please email us to ask about a customized package based on your individual needs.)

  • Emergency First Response - EFR (1 Day / Dry Course): 110€ *
  • Rescue Diver Course - RDC (3 Days): 320€ *
  • Dive Master Course - DMC (short 10-14 days): 750€ **

  • Instructor Development Course - IDC is AI + OWSI (9 Days): 1299€ ***

Please email us if interested in courses for Instructor Specialties, MSDT (Master Scuba Diver Trainer), or IDC Staff.

* PADI manual and certification are not included, which cost 40€ for the manual and 35€ for the certification, total 75€ for each course. PADI requires each student to have their own manual for each course.

** Professional level programs do not have a certification fee, but they have a membership fee which includes a certification card. Also, the materials required for professional level programs are more extensive and require more than a manual. PADI demands each candidate to have their own set of materials, which can be purchased as a package in a PADI crewpak.

*** Before being certified as an Open Water Scuba Instructor, all candidates must pass a 2 day instructor examiniation (IE) conducted by a PADI examiner. PADI holds exams in Sharm el-Sheikh 5 times per year, and all IDC's are held just prior to a PADI exam, so that the IE is completed immediately after the course.
