I take a personal interest in all my IDC Candidates , making sure your on the right track with your Skills , Presentations . I want to develop you for a Dive Career not just get you through the I.E . I'll extend my IDC a few days if required to develop a more relaxed experience with the ( FREE - IDC Prep  ) course a more positive stress free environment. I'll make sure you absorb the concepts and information and I encourage Questions and note taking , I'll even include the Notebook and pen .  We'll learn in the Largest 2 meter Pool on Roatan and also move into Confined Open Water environment all of two minutes walk to the beach from the Dive Shop this will enhance your abilities for dealing with both environments and using surface markers and learning about positioning students around the Surface marker to keep boat traffic away as you may not always be teaching in a Pool environment .

Our class sizes are kept to a maximum of 4-6 Candidates . This enhances the learning experience and you'll work with your fellow Candidates all the time helping each other as a team effort .Like all things in life preparation is the key to success, as a Divemaster you've learnt the standard Dive Theory and have the same level of Theory as an Instructor prior to the IDC , it is not the job of the Course Director to teach you what you should already know but we will remediate as necessary to fine tune your knowledge . So review your Knowledge Workbook and Divemaster Exams , Tables & E-rdp-ML's etc .
During the IDC  you'll learn how to present a number of different  Teaching Presentation including Knowledge  Development in the Classroom, Confined Water in the Pool or Beach area and Open water on one of the local dive sites .The presentation will be from any of the PADI Outlined Standard Courses , mainly the O/W Diver and Rescue Diver and Adventure Dives . This will be guided by fully understanding the PADI Instructor Manual Standards and General Procedures and paper work , course record files and Pic - certification procedures.You'll practice your Rescue Skills and complete a DSD Workshop as well as practice Knot's and Lift Bag use  Also we will challenge your dive theory and PADI standards knowledge with a series of exams.You'll learn in more depth about problem anticipation /solving and response with students , how to brief skills , de-brief and counsel your future students as PADI Instructor .
After the IDC is complete and you've met all the performance requirement your Course Director will accept you for registration for the I.E  or Instructor Exam for short .
A two day Examination is by one of PADI's Instructor Examiner  .
Here you will be assigned a number of presentations which you have practised many times during the IDC .
So really the  I. E  stands for is  " It's Easy ".
Then after the  I.E  if you wish we will get ready for the MSDT Prep course  5 - 15  Instructor Specialties Courses for you to teach .
By undertaking you MSDT Prep with your Course Director this means you can teach these Specialties without waiting until you have completed 25 PADI certifications.

Why Choose Us ?


Why should I take my IDC with you ?
I've looked at the New 2010 Curriculum in detail and I've added more Workshops , more Presentations and additional Skills to Optimise Candiate time , Optimise maximum learning and Optimise their future employment possibilties . Hence my New e-IDC . Quite simply I believe I offer I very very Comprehnsive IDC and IDC related course . I'm a qualified Hyperbaric Dive Medic , so I've introduced a EFR Instructor Course with a Hyperbaric Overview to help Candidates fully understand what's involved with Chamber Recompression of a DCI Patient . "Remember to take that wrist Computer off if you every go in the Chamber ?? " I love what I do as a Course Director . I always enjoy every IDC it's alot of hard work but well worth the effort  .
I offer my Candidates the VERY Best Hassle Free IDC learning Environment , ALL Inclusive A/C Accommodation with ALL Meals and drinks and LOCAL BEER - Yes we buy the BEER Everynight which means you have someone cook for you,no Washing dishes,no Grocery Shopping and NO Bloody Hassle !  The best thing to do is come along during an IDC and see for yourself .
I have 10 FULL Years as a Dive Professional and PADI Member , I've learnt a great deal working in several Dive Shops and Resorts and have many years experience and I like to pass on those experiences to my Candidates .
I've reached to Top of my Profession , and I'm very happy and very proud to have got here , coupled together with PADI and the easy access they give you to become a Pro . Life's good !

What is your IDC philosophy ?
Simple - " Give'm Hell".....lol . No joking aside I take a personal interest in my Candidates . I especially listen to the Candidates on the first day of the IDC during the Orieintation in detail , I want to know why they are doing the IDC . I listen for their future plans and where they want to go and do . It's this listening that motivates me , I want them to achieve their Goals and future plans they have . I'm not looking for perfect straight of the bat , I prefer to have to work for my money , it's the guiding and coaching of my Candidates I enjoy most . I always make it Fun , humour always breaks the ice and let's down the stress barrier . We all know the IDC is stressfull - Big Investment etc . I don't orientate my IDC's around the I.E , a very comprehensive IDC will take care of the I.E .I prefer to concentrate on the "Real World " of Teaching Scuba,I want them all to be ready for that Very First O/W Course as an Instructor after the I.E .
I try and keep in touch with ALL that I have the good furtune to teach , we all have a short shelf life. We are Born then we Die it's a known fact , and it's the bit in the middle that we all have to fill in . Make the most of it ,enjoy it to the full  - remember you can't take it with you
