Our Course Director and Staff Instructors will offer you support and make sure that you are staying on track with all the academics. Additionally they will be on hand to help with preparation for the practical section of the course.
The IDC is made up of four parts – the Assistant Instructor (AI) course, the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program, Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI) and Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) preparation.
