Instructor Development Philippines

As the only two PADI 5* CDC facilities in the country that collaborate and offer you two multiple award winning in-house PADI Course Directors to guide your training we guarantee you will not only have the best IDC experience possible but also a lot of fun in the process.

IDP is more than just a training facility. We are a family that have been working together for over a decade and we care about each candidate. Apart from offering exceptional training we also offer support to each individual long after they have successfully completed their Instructor Exam. This is the main benefit of choosing an IDC facility with a long standing instructional team.

We are still in contact with many of our previous IDC graduates, most of whom return to Liquid and Atmosphere for diving holidays. They tell us stories of their amazing lifestyles and working their dream jobs in exotic locations. A few have even gone on to open their own PADI dive centers; and we are there to help with any questions they may have.

Our IDP graduates are one of our strongest assets having dive jobs all over the world, creating a network that we can tap into to help our newest batch of graduates in the search for their dream job.

So when I did my IDC and passed through PADI IE in July here at Instructor Development Philippines, I wasn't able to stay on for the complimentary 2 week mentorship they offer newly qualified instructors. So decided to return for it now... Started today with an advanced open water course - a peak performance buoyancy dive and an underwater naturalist dive. Mentored by Reiss, Atmosphere Resorts & Spa's in-house marine biologist and very supportive staff instructor. Absolutely loved it, especially seeing people's buoyancy develop. Roll on Day 2 tomorrow for the Deep, Navigation and Night dives tomorrow. Now where did I put those eggs...?
