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)
PADI’s state of the art educational
design gives you two different opportunities to move ahead of the
class by completing part of the material online through
eLearning:
Dive Theory and IDC Theory.
Online Dive Theory is available for
Divemaster candidates who want extra training in the basic theory
subjects of Physics, Physiology, Equipment, Decompression and RDP,
General Skills, and Environment. Likewise, it is a useful tool for
IDC candidates who may want to brush up on their dive theory. The
cost of this is $100 payable to PADI.
Online IDC Theory is available for those
candidates who would like the option of doing their Assistant
Instructor (AI) or Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) courses on a
faster track by completing eLearning online. The same material is
covered through live delivery at the IDC, but this would allow you a
more flexible time during your IDC. This convenience has an
additional cost of $320 payable to PADI. This option will not save
you any cost on the IDC; but, the extra time may be spent scuba
diving (for free) on Roatan's spectacular reef.
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.
If you did your Divemaster before the Instructor Manual was included
with the DM course you also need to purchase that for $97.
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 (a $
250 value) but you
may already have taken it beforehand.
If you are an
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
