Your Instructor-ship journey begins here

If you are at this page, we are sure that you already have enough information from other PADI websites about what goes on during your Instructor Development Course. Congratulations on your decision to be an Instructor…. soon!

Here at Turtle Buddy Divers, we would rather spend time explaining how we can help you better.

We understand that time is precious to our fellow divers who work and study in Singapore. Hence we have developed options that have been proven to cater to your learning needs.

Option A: Decentralised IDC Scheme (Highly recommended for busy candidates)

This scheme allows Instructor candidates to have a stress free IDC with an abundance of learning time. Candidates do not have to worry about telling their bosses that they will need to take a long period of absences or early end-work time just to cater to the standard IDC duration.

Candidates can begin their teaching experience early so that they can start to enjoy teaching even before they pass their IE. On top of the eased learning intensity, candidates will enjoy even more free time during the Open Water Scuba Instructor Course with our online platform learning curriculum to save their travelling time.

What is best about this option? The price is still the same as the standard IDC scheme!

Option B: Standard IDC Scheme (Recommended for candidates who want to get there fast)

The standard IDC starts 3 weeks before the IE. This scheme caters to those who missed the decentralised IDC scheme but still want to be instructors by the next coming IE.

We will still welcome you.
