As an IDC Staff Instructor you work alongside and assist the Course Director on IDCs and can also independently teach the Assistant Instructor course, which consists of the first part of the IDC.

During this course you will work closely with the Course Director during an actual IDC and receive tuition, guidance and feedback throughout. You will learn about IDC standards and evaluation techniques and assist the Course Director in evaluating the IDC candidates on the course. You will also be evaluated on one classroom presentation and one Confined Water presentation during the IDC. We expect you to attend the IDC preparation course, the IDC, the MSDT and the IE and be on hand to support and counsel the IDC candidates alongside the Course Director. Please note you must be a PADI MSDT to be eligible for this course.
