IDC Philosophy
How strong a swimmer do you have to be to dive?
Whenever a person is in an environment in which they are surrounded by water that is too deep to stand up in, they should have basic swimming abilities. This of course is true of scuba diving as well as many other in water
What if it takes me a little longer to catch on?
At IDC, our instructional staff knows that each person has their own learning style. Some are immediate fish in the water, while others need more time to become comfortable with certain aspects of the sport. We guarantee that we will do our best to work with your particular needs and do all we can to help you become a certified diver. Class sizes are small to ensure personalized instruction and private training is available at any time for those who would like to dictate the pace of their training and apply more practice to areas that may be more challenging.
Is the theory hard?
The purpose of the theory portion of the course is to ensure that diving students are knowledgeable in their chosen recreation. The program includes regular lectures from your PADI Dive Instructor along with theory portions supplemented by a comprehensive video and instruction manual. The scuba diving theory is informative, easily grasped and well presented by qualified staff, so the average person has complete success throughout the theory requirements. Of course, if there are any challenging areas – we are always here to help, and we’re pretty good at teaching after all these years.
What courses are offered that will fit my particular schedule?
We offer evening and weekend courses that are in a group format regularly scheduled throughout the year. In addition, we offer private courses that can be almost completely tailored to your schedule. Can you only spare a friday evening after work, or a couple of hours on a saturday morning?? no worries – we have a large educational staff and can teach any day of the week at almost any time. We have a full time course coordinator on staff who spends many hours each week coordinating training for busy people. Give us a call or an email and we can work with your schedule to get you diving before you leave for vacation and miss out on some great fun and adventure.
