IMPORTANT: Candidates must verify if the course director teaching their program is using the NEW�2010 version of the IDC�prior to�registering for the online program. Some programs running in Australia are still�based on the�OLD PRE-2010 IDC program and dont offer the online option.

General Standards and Procedures*
Learning the PADI System
Risk Management*
Marketing diving

The student will need a 2010 PADI Instructor manualand student diver materials for OW, AOW and Rescue to reference during the online training. Whether using eLearning or doing an entirely classroom option, all IDC candidates will need the materials from the new IDC crewpak.

A Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) is a more experienced Open Water Instructor who is much more employable and capable of teaching a large variety of PADI specialty diver courses. By becoming a Master Scuba Diver Trainer you�ll add variety to your instructing, making teaching more fun and exciting, both for you and your students!

"Diving Instructor Development Course"

Timmy Seager on 7/2/2010 10:16:39 AM

Comments: I would like to thank Peter and his team for there efforts on my IDC. I felt very prepared and confident for the IE. A week later I was instructing my first open waster course. This confidence and the skills I learnt during my IDC made my first course run very well. Our class had a dyverse back ground and it only added to what we took away from the IDC. I feel I now have a strong base to add to my instructor career. Timmy Seager

"IDC January 2010"

Nick Cutler on 4/2/2010 11:14:04 AM

Comments: Wow, this was one of the most mentally & physically challenging courses I have ever participated in, but it was all worth it in the end! Due to the fantastic support and delivery from the course director and team at Abyss, I was fully prepared and went on to pass my IE, the following weekend,with flying colours! And what next? Well, Who wants to Learn how to Dive?

"IDC course with Abyss"

Gregory Marshall on 16/9/2009 9:51:14 PM

Comments: Completing my IDC followed by the IE was a life changing experience that I won't forget, it improved my confidence while making new friends. Peter, Carl & Sam who worked on the course were very professional, they made the course fun and also provided the necessary guidance I needed to pass with flying colors. I strongly recommend the IDC & IE. Greg
