PADI IDC Professional Scuba Instructor Development Center
It has been over 10 years since we hired a Course Director and trained our first instructor as a PADI IDC. What started as an ancillary idea of how we could improve our Dive Center, has turned into a focus and a large part of who we are today. So much so that we’ve built Key Largo’s first pool specifically for and dedicated to dive training, which is all part our brand new in IDC campus opening in 2015. From our award winning PADI Platinum Course Directors and IDC Staff to our state of the art training environment, spend a little time with us and you’ll soon see why you’ve found the place you will want to turn to for all of your PADI Professional training needs.
