What to expect

As an open water scuba instructor you are one of the most in demand dive professionals in the world. This is because you have completed the skills and training required to teach the PADI system.

This course is an intense program taught in a relaxed environment. The Scuba Tours IDC (Instructor Development Course) covers all aspects of assistant instructor and full open water instructor.

On the IDC you will cover dive theory and practice exams, skill evaluation, the system of diver education via classroom presentations, you will be guided through confined and open water training dive presentations and finally an assessment of your rescue diver skills. As a PADI open water scuba instructor your qualification is the most highly recognised worldwide and will enable you to work freelance or within a PADI dive centre teaching PADI courses whilst having the best training help and materials to hand.

Once you’ve completed your IDC course you can opt to go straight on to the IE (Instructor Examination) weekend which we schedule our annual IDC courses around whilst the training is fresh in mind. Alternatively if you would prefer to take more time you may opt to partake in an IE elsewhere. They are scheduled worldwide throughout the year on the PADI calendar.
