PADI IDC Koh Lanta Silver Package at Lanta Diver
Our PADI IDC Koh Lanta Silver package is aimed at people who are already certified as an EFR Instructor. As an EFR Instructor, to become a PADI Instructor, you just need to complete a full PADI IDC and the Instructor Exams (IE). Our PADI IDC Silver package is designed for you – you will follow a relaxed 12-day training schedule for the IDC in Koh Lanta, Thailand, followed by the IE.
Our PADI IDC courses in Koh Lanta, Thailand, are run by experienced multi-Platinum PADI Course Director Richard Reardon. Rich has been teaching IDCs since 2004 and has designed a relaxed IDC schedule that goes above and beyond the minimum training standards set out by PADI. Rich will conduct extra workshops throughout the programme, to not only make sure you pass the IE with ease but also so that your first course will be relaxed and easy. All our PADI IDC Koh Lanta at Lanta Diver are taught with an emphasis on neutral buoyancy throughout – the IDC is no exception.
After booking a PADI IDC with Lanta Diver, we will also send you a set of study materials, so you can prepare in advance as much as possible. Arriving at the IDC fully prepared will enhance your learning experience and make both the IDC and IE much more relaxed and easier.
If you are already an EFR Instructor and would like to know more about taking your PADI IDC Koh Lanta with us in Thailand, please email rich@lantadiver.com for further details. Please check the course dates below too.
