Executive/Hybrid PADI IDC Package
If you do not have 2 weeks to spare for your IDC, don’t worry. We can cut the in-person, on-site course by half by doing our hybrid option – the most flexible and practical way to start becoming a PADI Instructor!
How it works is that we spend all live presentations, classroom presentation online. We set a 3 hour session, for 7 days ensuring that you have learned everything you need to start your on-site, in-person, in-water presentations in Cebu.
All you need to get started is to sign up so you get your IDC eLearning materials, get it done before scheduling the online sessions with us.
You can then join the last week of your regular PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) in Mactan, Cebu, Philippines which is scheduled for 6 times every year.
It is that simple, that convenient, that flexible!
After the completion of your Executive IDC, you can enroll on the PADI IE and become a PADI scuba instructor.
