Are you looking for something extraordinary? To do something others can only dream of? To help people transform their lives? To open doors you didn’t even know existed? All of this, and more, awaits you as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
The Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program is one of two distinct components of PADI’s Instructor Development Course (IDC)—the core of PADI Instructor training. The first portion is the Assistant Instructor course followed by the Open Water Scuba Instructor program.
The OWSI program at Blue Season Bali is 6 day although we normally undertake the AI and OWSI course together in the form of the PADI IDC.

PADI Scuba Instructor - Where will I dive?
Bali, "The Island of the Gods", is certainly a divine place to get your gear on and go for a dive. The diversity of marine life and dive sites is exceptional. One day can be filled with the magnificent Oceanic Sunfish, or Mola Mola, around the waters of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, whilst the next you can be searching for pigmy seahorses in the north of Bali. The diversity of soft and hard corals in Bali, and Indonesia, is unmatched anywhere else in the world.
With our PADI Scuba Instructor courses you will get to dive the best places that Bali has to offer.
