APADI IDC Preparation Course (2 days)

This relaxed two day program better prepares you for the IDC and beyond.

This program is designed to help candidates to refresh their diving skills and Divemaster dive theory prior to the IDC and also a chance for those not already certified as Enriched Air Divers to become certified as EANx Divers …!!!

Why Enriched Air (EANx)?? It is becoming more and more mainstream, Recent changes to PADI standards again serve to highlight the importance of understanding EANx, you can offer an EANx module on OW Dive 4, you have the chance of taking EANx as an Adventure Dive, there is the option of doing a “Discover Nitrox” none of these you can teach unless you are a EANx Instructor!!!

The EANx Prep consists of EANx theory and Practical Application with a review and use of ALL the latest PADI materials – DVD, Outline, exam etc.

For those without PADI EANx certification the dives can be conducted during the IDC which – for a minimal cost  – will give you PADI EANx Diver certification!!! And as an added bonus after you have successfully completed your IDC/IE we will include the EANx Instructor course FREE OF CHARGE!!!

IDC Prep

For those Divemasters who skills and dive theory knowledge are a little rusty then the IDC prep day is just for you it also gives us an opportunity to get to know you and which areas we need to concentrate on

The IDC prep program consists of both Confined Water and classroom sessions

during which we will review the 20 skills of the PADI skill circuit, focusing on your demonstration abilities We will review in detail the 5 topics that make up the dive theory Exams: Physics, Physiology, The Recreational Dive Planner, Equipment and General Skills & The Diving Environment and go through some “mock” exams in readiness for the IDC and IE

We will also run a Rescue Workshop where we can make sure you are familiar and comfortable with the PADI Rescue Diver Course Exercise #7: Unconscious Diver at the Surface.

For those lacking current CPR status (within the past 24 months) an EFR Update is available as part of the Prep. This two hour add-on focuses on the 10 skills that make up Primary Assessment and Secondary Assessment - injury and Illness assessment.

The cost of EFR recertification with PADI is 16 $USD.

The IDC Prep is a great way to ease yourself into "IDC learning mode", familiarize yourself with the facilities, meet and get to know your fellow candidates, Course Director and the IDC Staff.

A complete library of PADI training materials: manuals, videos, reference texts - INCLUDING ALL PADI MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTS - is available for review and reference throughout the IDC Prep and IDC!!!
