Here at Aquarius Dive Shop, we schedule our IDC to meet the challenging time constraints of our candidates who are local as well as those who have chosen to come to Monterey for the IDC. Our program is designed to synch with the two-day PADI Instructor Exam (IE) administered by PADI Staff scheduled for the weekend immediately following the completion of our course. This timeline reinforces mastery retention of knowledge and skills to best prepare you for success at the IE and when teaching.
