PADI IDC and IE dates for 2023
Due to COVID, the scheduling of next year's 2023 IDC and IE dates maybe delayed
Before we can make an PADI IDC Schedule for next year, we need to wait for PADI to release the PADI IE Dates for 2023. This is usually done around September / October. You can find our IDC Schedule for 2022 here.
A full IDC program includes the our 2 day PADI IDC Prep, PADI Instructor Course (IDC). As well as the EFR Instructor Course and The PADI Instructor Examination. Then we can schedule our PADI Specialty Instructor Courses. This is known as the MSDT Prep and happens after the IE.
With our PADI IDC Schedules you can go straight from your Phuket PADI IDC to the corresponding PADI Instructor Exam on Phuket. In addition after each PADI IE, we run a week of Specialty Instructor Courses. The most popular Specialty Instructor Courses include the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty Instructor, PADI Deep Diver Specialty Instructor Course and PADI EANx Specialty Instructor Courses. Also very popular on Phuket is the PADI Rebreather Instructor and Drift Diver Specialty Instructor.
In addition, please remember that our Indepth IDC programs cut off at a maximum of SIX candidates. Consequently please Contact Us as early as possible to make sure there is still space on the PADI IDC course/s which best suits your schedule.
