    Product description

    PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)

    Follow your dreams, pass the passion on to others, be dive-bound not desk-bound!  Clearly you love diving or you wouldn't have got to this page and you're here because you want to go that step further.  

    Full-time or Part-time, warm-water or more temperate climes, it matters not. Teaching diving is just incredible.

    So how do you get there? There are 3 parts:

    1. Knowledge Development. Done before you start the course through the IDC Crewpack

    2. The IDC. Done by a PADI Course Director.

    3. The Instructors Exams. Run by PADI

    You need to pass the IDC to go on to the IE (Instructor Exams) and you need to pass these to become a PADI Instructor.  So not an easy task but rewarding beyond belief.

    Who can become and instructor?

    • You need to be a minimum of 18 - there’s no maximum!
    • You need 60 logged dives to tare part in the IDC and 100 logged dives to attend an IE
    • Your First Aid & CPR certificate needs to be up to date which means within the last 24 months
    • You’ll need a Medical Statement signed by a Doctor within the last 12 months
    • You will also need Emergency First Response Instructor Rating, whigh we will organise during your instructor training

    How long does it take?

    There are 2 kinds of IDC, pick the one that suits you the best.

    Residential: 9 days back to back at our dive centre in Plymouth. This is a mixture of classroom workshops, pool sessions and sea-based teaching. (Please note we can only run this kind of IDC if we are within Covid-19 rules)

    Online: Over 2 months with an online Zoom session weekly plus 6 face to face sessions in the classroom, pool and sea.

    What the course covers:

    Frankly we’ll be teaching you everything you need to know to be a successful PADI Instructor. A toolbox full of teaching skills, diving skills, techniques and knowledge.  Your will know your way around the PADI system, how to problem solve, schedule, cost, organise and courses. And most importantly of all teach diving to the highest of standards.

      Price £850 

      This covers your IDC, dive fees, as much air as you can breath and 5 Instructor specialties (normally £400).

      This is paid to Aquanauts for your course.

      There are however other costs paid to PADI:

      • You will need PADI’s IDC Crewpack.  You can buy this from us, or you can shop around.  Our price is £475. The link is below.
      • The IE (Instructor Exam) is £588
      • Your Instructor application is £180
      • EFR instructor application £105.60

      We also strongly recommend you get the PADI DIVE THEORY ONLINE.  It's certainly not mandatory but it will help you hugely with the theory side of the course.

      Booking & Date

      To book yourself a space on an IDC or to chat and ask lots of questions , please contact the centre.
