What awaits you in your IDC

​

The PADI IDC course is divided into two components. The first part includes the Assistant Instructor course, followed by the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor course. You'll learn about the entire PADI diver education system and focus on building your skills as a professional scuba instructor.
