Although PADI requires an IDC to have a minimum duration of 7 days, we have found some extra presentations and workshops highly beneficial to our candidate success. To accommodate these extra presentations we have found a 9-days program more suitable.
Extra workshops include:
- Ascents and Descents, Buoyancy control, Buddy Breathing, Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent, Rescue exercises, students control and scenarios.
- Planning, organizing, scheduling all the PADI Courses in different environments.
With a relaxed, low stress 9 days IDC you can focus and elaborate on specific topics, review certain parts of the program, give extra time or lectures to our candidates.
The main focus of our program is to give the best knowledge to our candidates before they start teaching.
We added this course completely for FREE to give extra experience to our candidates for their future career and the IE.
The schedule for this one day:
1. Diving Theory.
2. How to teach the Recreational Dive Planners (Table, Wheel & eRDP)
3. Open Water Diver course, Skills and Demonstrations practice.
4. Rescue Diver course, Skills and Demonstrations practice.
5. Any topic you want us to cover.
Due the continued success rate of our PADI IDC programs, we are happy to offer you this guarantee.
In the unlikely event that you should fail – then you will not only be invited to attend our next or any other whole IDC free of charge but we will also schedule a remedial program.

This guarantees that you can concentrate 100% on your IE without wasting time worrying about paperwork, payments, transport, equipment and the like.
