PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)

At the moment, we do not offer the IDC at our KK branch. However, you can join our friends over at Scuba Junkie Sipadan on the beautiful Mabul island!
starts at rm 8,847
We have been running IDC’s at our Mabul Beach Resort for over 10 years and have successfully delivered hundreds of PADI pro’s! We keep classes to a maximum of 8 students - with the average size a lot smaller - meaning each student gets the personal attention they need throughout the course. We have a fantastic team of experienced instructors, who will be more than happy to offer advice and guidance. The IDC is both rewarding, a lot of fun, and you will likely meet people who will become lifelong friends!

We'll guide you through the Instructor Development Course and not only give you the tools to pass your IE, but to also be an amazing instructor after the course is over. Past Scuba Junkie instructors have moved on to work in dive shops all over the world, to managing dive centres, and even started their own businesses! We can confidently say that both you and your future students will be happy you trained at Scuba Junkie!
