Through the IE you will not be taught or led. This is your opportunity to show that you are now a PADI Instructor.

The process will now be comfortable for you, because you have already successfully completed many presentations in Confined water, Open water and Knowledge Development.

During the PADI IE, you will have to successfully complete the following:

• Dive theory and Standards exams.
• Knowledge development presentation
• Confined water presentation – one skill
• Open Water presentation – two skills combined
