PADI Instructor Development Course
The PADI Instructor Development Course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to teach scuba diving worldwide.
Introducing you to the PADI system of diver education the IDC provides you with the tools to train scuba divers in the classroom, confined water and open water. Covering areas as diverse as risk management, teaching children, the business of diving and PADI standards and procedures, the IDC is designed to develop a rounded diving educator who can work anywhere in the world.
It is expected that candidates have sufficient knowledge of diving theory prior to the IDC, as no formal theory presentations are included in this course.
