It combines hands-on training with theoretical knowledge, covering everything from dive theory and risk management to teaching techniques and course organisation. Completing the IDC is a prerequisite for the PADI Instructor Exam (IE), a final step that tests your skills and knowledge before becoming a qualified instructor.
