Your success is my mission: The "KID" mentoring program
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.

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!
