On completion of an IFC the diver is classed as an ADI (assistant diving instructor) and basically, can instruct inth ebranch under the direct supervision of a NQI (Nationally Qualified Instructor)

Did my IFC this year and I am now taking trainees for pool training. As previously stated, there is an NQI present, but they do not need to be in the water. I could also do theory lectures, but the NQI should be in on the lecture.

Muhammad, are you not an OWI? because if you are you should know about Assistant Instructors as this is what you should have been prior to taking and passing OWI.

Ours do a lot in the pool, some classroom stuff, and occasionally some open water.

Actually, they're very useful to have around if you're feeling a little lazy and have lots of training to do. I love doing dives where I just follow an ADI around, no stress, no worry, just floating along watching what they're doing and occasionally catching the odd leg as it's owner heads for the surface! :O)

Come on: try for both next time.

Hehe - I generally find that if you stop one leg, the other leg doesn't get much further on its own... tends to wait for its buddy! :O)
