Choose Your IDC Date & Start Your Instructor Career
Planning your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) is one of the most important steps in your dive career.
At Scuba Instructor Philippines, our IDC programs are designed longer than most, giving you more time to practice, build confidence, and truly master the skills needed to succeed at the Instructor Examination (IE).
We align every course with official PADI IE dates to ensure a smooth, stress-free progression from training to certification — all in a professional, fun, and supportive environment.
✔ Small groups ✔ Extra practice time ✔ Real teaching experience
2026 IDC Schedule
We run up to 6 Instructor Development Courses per year, all scheduled around official PADI Instructor Examinations.
⚠ Limited to small groups – early booking recommended
