Run by our in-house Course Director James Wilkinson, the full Instructor Development Course runs over 10 days and includes academic, confined water and open water teaching sessions.

We run several IDCs per year, both in the UK and in Sharm El Sheikh.

This course is designed to hone your skills as a dive educator and give you a thorough understanding of how to make best use of the PADI system of diver education.

Upon successful completion of this course you will take the instructor Exams (IE). The IE is an independant evaluation of your diving and educational skills.

PADI Instructor Development Course Description

The IDC combines the Assistant Instructor and OWSI programs into one and the EFR Instructor course, teaching you how to teach and how to successfully apply these skills across the PADI system of eductaion.
