Your IDC worry-free package: More than just a course
An IDC is more than just memorizing standards. I'm not just preparing you to pass the PADI IE, but to be an outstanding PADI Dive Instructor that students trust.
Accommodation included
Forget the stress about finding accommodation in Cyprus. During your PADI IDC Course with us, you will get a free accommodation at our Pro-Hostel.
Multiple languages
No language barriers with complex PADI standards. We train in German and English. This way, you understand every detail of the theory and practice and can approach the PADI IE with 100% confidence. We provide a translator for the IE.
3 Instructor Specialities included
We'll give your career that extra boost. Our IDC already includes three important specialist courses for you:
PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor
PADI Enriched Air (NITROX) Instructor
PADI Mediterranean Sea Turtle Specialty Instructor (Exclusive to us!)
The Zenobia MSDT upgrade
Maximize your job opportunities! Take the next step towards becoming a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) with two of the most sought-after specialties worldwide:
PADI Deep Diver Instructor
PADI Wreck Instructor
Your success is my mission: The "KID" Mentoring
Why you won't just pass the exam with me, but become a top instructor.
As a PADI Course Director, I'm not just your teacher giving lectures. I'm your mentor. My goal is for you to be completely relaxed on the day of your IE (Instructor Examination) because you know you've got what it takes!
The goal during the IDC is not to prepare you for the exams, but to make you a great PADI diving instructor.
Pre-Study Support
-
Online Live Sessions
Even before the IDC, we will clarify the questions about physics, physiology, equipment and diving together.
-
IDC Prep
We have scheduled two additional days before the actual IDC to solidify your skills and theoretical knowledge.
-
Further preparation
We also offer individual supplementary preparation courses for a small additional fee. These can be in the water or in theory.
Hands-On Training
-
Culture of mistakes
We practice difficult scenarios – without time pressure. Making mistakes is good, because you won't make those mistakes again.
-
Workshops
I'm not a fan of long explanations. We'll be doing a lot of workshops where we actively learn.
-
Simulated exams
We conduct realistic test runs. This way you know exactly what to expect from IE.
Career coaching
-
CV Check
We help you optimize your resume for the international diving industry.
-
Job placement
Use our worldwide network and unsee experience for your first job as an instructor.
-
PADI Pro-Vibe
You'll remain part of our community and will always have a direct line to me if you have any questions.
Your planning: IDC dates & availability in Cyprus
Small groups for maximum quality. Secure your spot in the Pro Base in time.
To ensure that every candidate receives my full mentoring, I strictly limit the number of participants per course. Early birds benefit: The earlier you start, the more time we have for our joint online theory sessions beforehand!
