PADI Course Director
The Course Director level is the pinnacle of the PADI System of diver education, representing
less than one percent of all PADI Members. Course Director hopefuls
submit an application for acceptance into one of two annual Course Director Training Courses. From almost 200 applications submitted each year only
about 70 participants are selected to attend the two week long
Course Director Training Course (CDTC).
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. Course Directors
are the only people who may conduct the Instructor
Development Course needed to become a PADI Open
Water Scuba Instructor.
