How the course works
You are taught by experienced instructors, and we aim to make you a competent instructor with confidence, not only to pass the IE. The IDC can be scheduled to fit your timetable on a one-to-one basis, and is a way into PADI Assistant Instructor (AI). After the IDC, add PADI Specialty Instructor.

We dive every day of the year
Daily boat trips and shore diving all year round, holidays included.
Clean air, deep expertise
Top-quality air is the basis of our technical and deep diving, and our team has logged trimix dives beyond 100 m since 2007.
Our own boat and beach club
Laila 1 for daily trips, and a private beach club with dive sites that only Dive Aqaba can dive.
