IDC DIVE Challenge yourself, Change your life
It’s your first dive of the day. You gently guide your group’s descent, and as you approach the drop-off, you spot them! The excitement rushes through your body as you turn and signal, “Look! Dolphins!”. Your open water students can’t believe their eyes. The look on their faces is almost as great as the dolphins. Your divemaster signals “awesome” as you turn to watch the dolphins again. You smile and think to yourself, “This is my life”.
When you become an Open Water Scuba Instructor, you make diving a part of your life forever. Whether you work a season once in a while and combine it with travel, or dedicate yourself full-time to this profession, the rewards are endless.
The Instructor Development Course is in front of you. It requires time, dedication, and a love for the ocean. Your hard work will lead you to the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). You want to approach this challenge with a great team that will not only make it unforgettable fun but push you to be the best instructor you can be.
It's time for you to dive in.
At IDC Dive we train PADI instructors with passion and dedication. Let us inspire you, challenge you, and support you through this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We believe in you. You can do this.

DOM GIBBINGS
My absolute passion is teaching diving. Whether I’m training beginners or professional level divers, I love getting others excited about diving and marine life. Teaching a wide variety of courses is the secret to keeping the passion alive.
When I learnt to dive in 1992, some of the teaching techniques were questionable at best! (I’m happy to share more at the pub.)
In 2003, I changed my life and moved from London to Dahab, where I became a PADI Pro.
“Becoming an instructor changed my life; it’s a hugely rewarding job. Introducing people to the stunning reefs of the Red Sea is a privilege.”
Come to Dahab for your IDC and you’ll see why I fell in love with its reefs and relaxed lifestyle, making it my base ever since.

IDC DIVE Candidates Reviews
Exactly 7 months ago I came to Dahab to finish my Open Water course... and now yesterday I became dive instructor with my lovely buddy Tricia thousands of thanks to the best diving team ever, amazings course director, staff instructor and instructors Dom, Alex, Frank, Tamer, Shrif, Jaimie, Kathrine and other Incredible divers Mohamed, Ibrahim.
I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to Dom that you are leaving the course as a superb and responsible instructor – this is not a money grabbing business – he and his team take a lot of pride in their work and are enriching the Padi Standard with a huge treasure chest of experience and knowledge between them, which they are eager to pass on to their students.
