IDC DIVE

How to calculate your expenses
So you’ve decided to change your life and become a PADI Instructor.
We realize it is a big commitment of time and money. It’s important to choose the right IDC.
Beside your IDC tuition (the course price) there are several extras to factor in: the PADI fees, all the required PADI material, dive gear, dive insurance…
All of these extras can add up, so it’s crucial to plan ahead and make sure you’re budgeting for everything. No surprises.
