Prerequisites
To attend an IDC you will
need:
A sense of humor, a love
for diving, respect for nature, good diving skills (and now the PADI
small print) - to have been a certified diver for at least 6 months
with a minimum 60 logged dives. If you are lacking dives we can
organize an internship at one of the Subway locations.
You will also need to be a
PADI Divemaster (contact
us if you have a certification from a different agency), be at
least 18 years old, and provide a PADI Medical Statement (available
locally for $15)
Materials
For the IDC you will need
both versions of the RDP (available here for $27 Table and $ 35 eRDPml), the IDC Crew Pack $400, & the EFR Instructor Manual $80.
Diving equipment can be borrowed during training from the centre at
no additional cost.
Costs
Note that the Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI) is required
to become a Dive Instructor. The EFRI is included in our IDC but you
may already have taken it beforehand.

AI and EFRI: $ 795 for IDC
If you are an Assistant Instructor: $ 1045 for IDC & EFRI
If you are a Divemaster: $ 1345 for OWSI & EFRI
All prices

You
may decide to do the theory part before coming to Roatan at your own
leisure online with the PADI e-Learning. This convenience has an
additional cost of $ 320 payable to PADI when signing up. This
option will not safe you any cost on the IDC but it will loosen up
the whole course and you can do some fun dives during the training.
Our IDC includes (at no
additional cost); "Welcome to Roatan" airport/ferry pickup, 2010
Roatan Marine Park Pass, diving before & after the IDC, free use of
our dive equipment during training, staff lunches during the course,
accommodation (double occupancy with another PADI Pro candidate),
free internet, daily transport from our accommodation to/from the
resort and transport to the IE with full logistical support from
your IDC Staff.
We also offer a 10%
continuing education discount on packages including; MSDT, IDC Staff
& DAN Instructor.
Yes all of this costs a lot
of money but think of it as an investment in an enjoyable career.
You will make it all back doing a job you actually like.
