The IE is a two day evaluation program that tests you, the instructor Candidate in your
teaching ability, dive theory knowledge, water-skill level, understanding of the PADI System, altitude & professionalism. IEs typically start the evening before the dates stated on the program schedule with an Orientation and one of the theory exams. Full details will be given when enrolling. Please contact us if the dates of our programs do not suit you.

To attend an IE you must:

• Successfully complete an OWSI program or IDC within 12 months from start date of
  the IE.
• Have documentation of at least 100 logged dives including experience in navigation,
