 PADI IDC preparation
Preparation is the key to Success. Preparing for a diving Instructor career is a considerable investment of time and commitment. The right preparation significantly reduces Your IDC course load and allows you more time to assimilate. It is still possible for you to finish your Knowledge Reviews when you arrive here, provided they are finished before we start the IDC but will be so much more beneficial if they are completed ahead of time.
To benefit the most from our Instructor program we encourage you to start your IDC Preparation already today: Check that you meet the prerequisites to attend the IDC/IE:
