IDC Staff Training

As a IDC Staff Instructor you will be actively involded in the teaching and success of new instructor candidates. It's a rewarding step in your diving career as you to build a resume of professional dive certifications accelerating your path to PADI Course Director.

Prerequisites and Materials

If you are a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with current knowledge and skills, you are ready to begin. For reference during your course and to teach afterwards, you will need 2 evaluation slates ($50) and a CD Manual (please contact us for price, paper or digital).

Staff Instructor Course Overview

Before the IDC begins you will spend two days one on one with our Peter, our Course Director. You will update your standards, learn evaluation criteria, discuss the psychology of evaluations, and refresh your dive theory and skills.

Plan to arrive a couple of days prior to the IDC course and enjoy some diving with us, no charge.  You can see the the 2010 schedule of courses here.
