PADI Instructor Development Course - IDC

This course takes the already certified PADI Divemaster to another level. Our dedicated Coral Point Diving Team will introduce you to the PADI system of diver education.

The PADI IDC Course provides you with the tools to train scuba divers in the classroom, confined water and open water.

 

Our IDC package comprises of three courses PADI Assistant Instructor Course (AI) & PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) and Emergency First Response Instructor Course (EFRI).If you are already qualified in any of the these courses – no problem we can tailor your instructor training accordingly. During the PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC), you will learn the PADI instructor training system of Education.  This is accomplished through presenting Confined Water Presentations, Knowledge Development Presentations and Open Water Presentations. Over a minimum of five days, but usually more like seven or nine, the IDC teaches you to conduct all PADI core courses. You'll be able to organize and present information, conduct skill development sessions and control open water dives. Basically, you become a better public speaker and get really good at demonstrating skills while watching out for student diver safety.

The PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC) concludes with a two day Instructor Exam (IE).  A representative from PADI will evaluate the skills and knowledge you gained from the PADI IDC and self-study E-Learning.  PADI IDC candidates will present a teaching presentation in Confined Water, Knowledge Development, and Open Water.  Additionally, the PADI IDC Candidates will give a Rescue Demonstration and pass exams in Standards and Dive Theory.

Upon successful completion of these three courses you will be ready for the PADI IE which is a 2 day standardized, objective evaluation conducted by PADI Instructor Examiners from PADI America who fly to Dominican Republic several times a year.

At Coral Point Diving we conduct our IDC courses directly before the PADI IE so you are fully prepared for the evaluation.

Why you should take your IDC with us

 

PADI Dive instructor training and PADI Divemaster internships are your beginning to a great career in a tropical paradise. 

Coral Point Diving is a dive school with a huge difference. We are fully dedicated to upholding responsible eco-tourism with marine conservation, safety, and quality being our main priorities. 
Through our coral reef conservation projects and coral reef check courses, we strive to promote sustainable business practices that will preserve this tropical island paradise so that it may be enjoyed for generations to come. All over the world reefs are in decline, and scientists with the UN estimate that most could be lost as soon as 2050. Protection, conservation, and restoration are all essential to save what reefs we still have left. Marine conservation has been at the heart of our Coral Point Diving School since it was started over 3 years ago. The New Eco Internship Programs were founded at our dive school to teach divers about coral reef ecology, research, and restoration. We believe that the people most closely connected to the reef should be the ones that care for it, and so are trying to get more and more divers involved in marine education and conservation.
