PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)
Our IDC courses are run monthly and organized by our PADI Course Director, Colin Adams.
The atmosphere here at Master Divers is geared towards giving you all the support and mentorship you need, and our vast and varied experience in the industry will ensure that you are trained to a level that far surpasses the required minimum standards. With us, the goal is not simply for you to succeed in your instructor exams, but to ensure you are a confident and competent dive professional on completion of your course. Additionally, we always take some extra time to identify areas in which you can do additional training or draw on previous experience to uncover new opportunities.
We have a maximum of 4 candidates per instructor (Course Director / Staff Instructor) ensuring plenty time for development, and additional one-on-one counseling sessions are available at no extra cost if required.
