The IDC Prep is designed to give you time to aquaint yourself with our resort, the local area and even take in a few fun dives.

Matt or any one of the Crystal IDC team will always be around, ready to answer any questions.

Great preparation for the IDC!"

Administration Preparation...

Along with the PADI IDC application form, you will need to bring with you all your current dive certificates and CPR certificate as well as any additional medical reports you feel necessary. The application needs to have information regarding all past PADI courses.

If you have any problems with this contact your local PADI office who will be able to assist with any missing information. Please bring photocopies of any non-PADI certifications.

You will also need a valid credit card to pay your PADI fee’s as they do not accept cash. The application form requires a RSTC medical form to be completed. This can be done on Koh Tao or in your home country but must be dated within 12 months. You will also need to bring your logbook with you with proof of 100 logged dives.

IDC Prep. Course
A two day preparation course covering Dive Theory as well as Skill and Rescue Assessments. Intially we review all your theoretical knowledge, identifying areas where you need to improve. We give presentations on these areas as well as practice exams.

We then take you into our swimming pool where we conduct skills circuits designed to improve your demonstrations to the quality expected by the PADI examiner’s on the IE. We also conduct Rescue workshops to ensure that your rescue skills are of an exemplary standard.

IE Pass GUARANTEEE!
Matt's unique IE Pass Guarantee...

"In the unlikely event that you are unsuccessful in the IE, I will pay for your second IDC and IE with us!"
