Any PADI IDC Staff Instructors out there? I'm wondering what the "going rate" is for Staff instructors. My monthly salary is about $800.00. Am I being ripped off? What are you making? Any input would be appreciated.
Gee, according to PADI, being an IDC Instructor is the pinnacle of diving. As they say on their website:
"The Course Director rating is the equivalent of having a postgraduate degree in scuba diving instruction, there is not a more prestigious level of certification within the dive industry"
IDC Staff Instructors work with PADI Course Directors to develop instructor candidates teaching abilities as well as shape their attitudes as dive professionals. IDC Staff Instructors are also authorized to independently conduct PADI Assistant Instructor courses.
