PADI INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE (IDC)

The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is a 9-day class designed to prepare qualified candidates to become PADI Instructors.

The IDC is divided into two distinct segments. The first segment is the 3-day PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) course. The second portion is the 5-day PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) course, and then 1 day allotted for make up . Together the two courses combine to encompass the entire IDC. Both courses must be completed before attending the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

Each segment can be scheduled as a stand-alone course or completed all at one time.

The IDC curriculum emphasis is focused on development, not tests or stress. This makes learning easier and more relaxed.
