Thailand IDC
The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), provides a professional learning experience in which you will learn how to teach diving skills within the PADI system.

You learn the technique of classroom and lecture presentations, confined and open water tuition and the use of the PADI teaching aids, such as video, CD-Roms and manuals.

The IDC is
"split" into two sections. The Assistant Instructor course (A.I) scheduled over the first 4 days introduces teaching techniques for skill and knowledge development. The course concentrates on duties and programs AIs may conduct independently. Successfully completing this course earns an AI certification and qualifies the AI to continue on to an OWSI program in the future.

The OWSI program, scheduled over 6 days introduces you to the entire PADI System and focuses on further developing your abilities as a professional dive educator.

PADI Assistant Instructors as well as instructors from other dive training organizations who want to become PADI Instructors must complete this program.

Successfully completing this program qualifies candidates to attend a PADI Instructor Examination (I.E).

Matt’s award winning program covers twice as much water work as is required by PADI standards & much more than other IDC Centres.

Also included is an extensive review of dive theory plus additional skill development workshops to sharpen and fine tune you’re in water skills.

All our IDC candidates are ‘guaranteed’ success on the course and exam.

Great preparation for the IDC!"

Arrive Early........

Ideally, we would like you to arrive at Crystal Dive at least a few days before the start of your PADI IDC. The IDC Prep is designed to refresh your theoretical knowledge, as well as sharpen the demonstration quality skills you learnt during your PADI Divemaster course. This allows you to feel confident about your prerequisite skills & diving knowledge before the IDC begins.

Arriving early also gives you time to acquaint yourself with our resort and the local area as well as take in a few complimentary fun dives! Matt or one of the Crystal IDC team will always be around, ready to answer any questions.
