PADI IDC
Instructor Development Course
Become a Dive Instructor with the #1 Dive Center on Roatan
pioneering the PADI INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT course
Our Instructor Development Course - PADI IDC transcends methodology, standards, and marketing. Our RD Way of running an IDC will also instill in you the confidence you need to go into the world and make a positive difference.
That difference could look like encouraging someone to surpass their challenges, introducing someone new to our magnificent oceans, or even inspiring you to pursue an active role in marine conservation.
Earning your PADI OWSI takes hard work and dedication. But you are rewarded with a transformative career that allows you to travel to extraordinary places, enrich the lives of others, and make a reverberating impact.
Our goal is to ensure you leave your IDC as a confident, knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly employable Dive Instructor.

You will see first-hand what it takes behind the scenes to run a successful, full service dive operation. You can then take this knowledge with them anywhere in the world.
Our dive center has a very specific way of operating. We uphold high safety standards and pride ourselves on providing impeccable service.
We have our own dock for easy boarding, 4 custom designed dive boats, brand new Mares equipment, and a well maintained compressor. All located in the heart of West End, yet tucked away from the main road.
