We can help you if you need us . . .


We guarantee that after only 2 intensive days, you will be 100% prepared to attend a PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC). The 2 day course will focus on the exact needs that you have and we won’t waste time on areas that are not required for the PADI IDC (PADI IDC) or PADI Instructors Exam (PADI IE).


You will learn innovative ways of tackling theory, especially physics, that not only helps you to learn, but gives you tips on how you might teach those very subjects once you are an instructor.

IDC Preperation Help

During the Prep Course we will also focus on diving skills.


Not only do you need to be able to demonstrate skills from the PADI Open Water Course, but you also need to be able to demonstrate skills from PADI continuing education courses. For example, knot tying and Rescue Diver Course skills.


Another fundemental building block that our Prep Course gives you is practice at being able to identify when a skill is being performed correctly or not. This is essential for being able to correct problems competently.

Steve's Tips on taking our IDC Prep Course.


I would say that the main advantage of doing your IDC Prep Course with us is that you can decide what the content should be. We gear it around you.


The subjects seem vast but I can advise what you do need to brush up on and more importantly, what you don't.


After just 2 days you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are as prepared as you can possibly be for your PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC).


"Deciding whether to take the IDC Prep course with Steve really is a no-brainer."

"The 2 day IDC Prep Course you took me through was fantastic, the proof being that I passed straight through the PADI Instructors Exam with no make ups!"

John, Nottingham


"If, like me, you're crossing over from another agency, then Steve's 2-Day IDC Prep Course is something I would heartily recommend, as it gives you confidence in what you'll be doing on the PADI IDC without wasting valuable time and brain power."

Gareth, Cardiff


"So, would I recommend an IDC prep course? I don't know. I have no idea what other prep courses are like. But I'd sure as hell recommend Steve's. EVERYONE benefitted from it, without exception, and everyone considered it invaluable. We were all saying things like “can you imagine how much more difficult everything would be if we hadn't done the last two days”. If I'd had the time or money, I'd have gone and done it again just for the laugh. I guess that's the best recommendation I can give."
