In 2007 & 2008 over 80% of the PADI Instructor candidates on Roatan chose their training with Subway Watersports due to ‘word of mouth’ recommendations from our students about the quality of our courses, the training philosophy we employ, our reputation and connections for employment. Here on the Caribbean island of Roatan, Honduras, we offer you two options. If you are ready to become an Instructor we offer a complete simple solution for Divemasters with a 12 day IDC program that runs a minimum of 6 times per year with Instructor Examinations right here on Roatan. We also offer Instructor Internship programs for Divemasters that need to refresh their skills & knowledge, gain experience working in a dive center, log additional dives or have the additional time and just want to focus on fun and getting more experience before completing your Instructor level training. Our 12 day IDC includes (at no additional cost); "Welcome to Roatan" airport/ferry pick up, 2009 Roatan Marine Park Pass, diving before & after the IDC, free use of our dive equipment during training, staff lunches during the course, free internet both in the center & at the Internship House, free accommodation (double occupancy with another PADI Pro candidate), and transport to the IE with full logistical support from your IDC Staff.

In 2008 every single one of our IDC candidates passed the Instructor Examination on the first attempt (industry average is 89%).
