Instructor Crossovers to PADI - Subic, Manila, Anilao, Philippines

If you are a BSAC scuba diver then we believe that you are very well trained. The BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club) training is superb and highly regarded in scuba diving. To become a PADI diver is easy to crossover from BSAC and allows you to dive with the highest certifying and most widely recognised scuba governing and certifying body. We highly respect BSAC divers and their techniques but if you are wishing to turn professional diver then generally you'll find that you are much more employable if a PADI professional - merely due to being a more recognised body.

We hold CMAS, SSI and SAA training in the same regard. To cross over to PADI diving from any of these scuba certifying bodies is easy.

Below shows the BSAC, CMAS, SSI, and SAA diver courses and the scuba education levels that you can crossover to the equivalent PADI Scuba Diving Courses.

During the PADI Instructor Development program, you’ll learn the PADI System of diver education, standards and procedures, effective academic teaching presentations, teaching in confined water, conducting open water training dives and additional related topics.

You’ll learn these topics one of two ways; through the PADI Instructor Development Program (IDC) or the PADI Crossover Program.

(Note: the Crossover Program is an option available only if you’re an instructor that is current with another certification organization and wish to become a PADI Instructor.)

After successful completion of the IDC, or Crossover Program, you must successfully complete the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). You will be evaluated on; dive theory, academic teaching, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching and general Diving skills and professionalism.

As a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor you can conduct the entire range of PADI experience programs and PADI diver programs, from Open Water Diver through Divemaster (except for specialties and PADI Emergency First Response, which require specific Specialty Diver Instructor and EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE® Instructor ratings).

After successfully completing your PADI IDC/IOC and IE, you receive a certification card and certificate denoting this rating. You’ll also become a member of PADI and receive benefits, including the ability to purchase professional liability insurance (which may be required to conduct some activities).
