This preparation course gives you a head start on your IDC. Together with the Course Director you refresh some practical and theoretical skills done during your Divemaster training, on top of that you already get a taste of what to expect during your Instructor Development Course (IDC).

Whats involved?

It allows you to practice in an informal relaxed environment the theory and practical skills required for the IDC. It gives you the chance to improve your water skills to the demonstration quality required (even full time Divemasters need to ensure they are performing the skills to PADI Standards), it also covers the theory, which is required for the 5 exams, and an introduction to teaching in the classroom.

What does this qualification mean to me?

To help you prepare yourself for the IDC. Although this course is not a prerequisite for the IDC, but our previous students in our IDC’s benefited greatly by participating in the IDC Preparation Course.

Important Note

For safety, all PADI students must complete a brief medical prior to commencing a course. If none of the listed conditions apply, you sign the form and you’re ready to start. If any of them apply to you, as a safety precaution, a physician must assess the condition as it relates to diving and sign a medical form that confirms that you’re fit to dive, dated within the last 12 months.
