Dive Vietnam - Scuba Diving - PADI IDC

PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDCs) & IEs are held 6 times every year in Vietnam. English PADI Course Directors, Jeremy Stein and Grant Martin, held the first IDC in Vietnam in June 2001 and both are recognised internationally for their outstanding teaching methods. They team-teach the IDCs with:

Sean Porter : English Master Instructor
Graham Lee : English Master Instructor

Hiromi Mashiguchi : Japanese IDC Staff Instructor
Gary Davis : English IDC Staff Instructor
Su Thai Bin : Vietnamese IDC Staff Instructor
Fabrice Ricaud : French IDC Staff Instructor
Georges Erhard : English IDC Staff Instructor
Caroline Istas : Belgian IDC Staff Instructor
Vicki Jones : English IDC Staff Instructor
Clara Rodgers : English IDC Staff Instructor

Both the Assistant Instructor and Instructor courses are each spread over 6 days.

You will need to obtain the Instructor Manual (digital or paper) and the Instructor Candidate Workbook and be familiar with both. There are 16 Knowledge Reviews at the front of the workbook, which need to be completed before the start of your course. You should also be comfortable with you ability to pass a Standards and Dive Theory exam. If you need remedial training on these exams, we offer an IDC Prep course over 2 days prior to the start of the IDC.
