PADI INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE - 10 days

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is the heart of the PADI Instructor training process. This program is designed for PADI Divemasters (or any qualifying certification from another training organization) who would like to become certified as PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor to be able to teach and conduct PADI diver courses.

Our extended PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is divided into 2 components; PADI Assistant Instructor Course (AI) and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI). You can choose to do your entire PADI Instructor Development Course IDC in one go, or you can take your time and do it part by part.
