New in 2020, PADI released a more digital IDC program. Now all of the pre-study and academics are done online prior to starting the IDC. You will be able to work through the theory at your own pace as well as getting in touch with your course director whenever you need to. 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. You will complete all 4 courses alongside each other over the period of 15 days. The IDC teaches you to conduct all PADI core courses from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster. You’ll be able to organize and present information, conduct skill development sessions and control open water dives. The workshops will help you become a better public speaker and get really good at demonstrating skills while watching out for student diver safety.
