PADI Instructor Courses in the Canary Islands(PADI IDC) and PADI Divemaster Courses

Our next IDC starts 3rd February 2012. Please email for further information.

PADI Instructor Development Course
The PADI IDC begins with independent self study and encompasses 2 PADI programmes. The Assistant Instructor Course (AI) and the Open Water Scuba Instructor Course (OWSI). The course takes 8/9 days in total.

The focus of these programmes is on development and learning by making mistakes and being corrected. We learn best by making mistakes, then receiving the necessary feedback to help us improve.

On successful completion of thePADI IDC you will receive confirmation from the Course Director, which will allow you to attend an Instructor Examination (IE).
