PrerequisitesTo 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.
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. CostsNote 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 All prices include free accommodation 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 Preparation, Specialty Instructor and IDC Staff Instructor.
The following fees are
payable to PADI by credit card at the Examination Yes all of this costs a lot of money but think of it as an investment in an enjoyable career.
