Every Instructor Examination (IE) is held right here on Utila

IDC = Instructor Development Course and IE = Instructor Examination
EFR = Emergency First Response with Care for Children Instructor
MSDT prep= Master Scuba Diver Trainer preparation with Internship for 25 certifications
IDC Staff = Instructor Development Course Staff Instructor (MSDT as prerequisite)
AI = Assistant Instructor course
OWSI = Open Water Scuba Instructor course

*For candidates who are already certified as PADI Divemaster prior to arriving on Utila for your IDC there have been changes to the curriculum, that now allow you to;

1) Study and pre-assess your dive theory online (saves hours of revision on Utila and 3 hours in class)

2) Study 9 of the course presentations online which can be used to save time from the course and start 5 days later than our 'Live delivery' IDC with the start date on the Saturday evening at 8am (arrive Utila Friday PM). The EFR Instructor course is on the Monday/Tuesday course and the IDC will then end one week later on the Sunday and then a day's fun diving on Monday prior to the IE on the Tuesday/Wednesday, allowing you to leave on the Thursday am flights. This takes just 13 days for the complete Instructor course, EFR Instructor and 2 day PADI Exams, and even less if you arrive on Utila already certified as a PADI Assistant Instructor.

There is an additional charge for this each of these options, that deliver convenience and value enhancement to the IDC, and this is paid to PADI. Please contact us for more information to register for this option.
