2-Day IDC Prep Course with Steve Prior


Due to popular demand every PADI Instructor Development Course (PADI IDC) we hold has a 2-day Prep Course scheduled before the start of the PADI IDC. Whether it is dive theory or diving skills that you feel you need help with, you will have expert advice all along the way. You will learn tips and tricks to help you pass your theory exams and advice on how to improve your skill demonstrations. Remember 100% of people who have taken the extra 2 day prep course have passed their PADI Instructor Exam first time! No wonder they are so popular.
