About this course

Advanced Freediving Instructor

The PADI Advanced Freediving Instructor course is the next professional milestone for instructors who have already earned their PADI Freediver Instructor rating and want to teach at a higher level. It is a demanding, seven day programme built around one clear goal: preparing you to confidently and safely certify PADI Advanced Freedivers.

Because this is an instructor-level qualification, the course goes well beyond simply repeating advanced apnea and open water technique. You will work on how to teach depth-focused freediving skills, how to coach students through the mental and physical demands of deeper, longer dives, and how to run advanced training sessions that keep every participant safe.

Safety sits at the centre of everything covered here. You will refine your ability to supervise buddy pairs at depth, manage rescue scenarios specific to advanced freediving, and instil the discipline and self-awareness that advanced freedivers need to progress responsibly.

By the end of the course you will be authorised to teach the full PADI Advanced Freediver curriculum, adding a genuinely sought-after qualification to your instructor portfolio and opening the door to working with more experienced freediving students.

“🌊 IDC No. 8 – April-May 2026: AMAZING! 🌊 An incredibly intensive course that truly prepares you to become the kind of instructor you wish you had when you first decided to breathe underwater 🤿 It lasted nearly a month online and 10 days in person.💪💪💪 You need to trust the process, because the program is designed not only to teach diving skills, but also to help you grow into a more professional, confident, and responsible person 💪 During these 10 days, you’ll be so focused on learning and improving that you probably won’t even have time to take photos 📚🔥 The entire IDC Sardinia staff is always there for you — guiding, supporting, motivating, and helping you through every challenge. They seem to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly when you need encouragement, and they won’t let you give up, even when the summit feels far away 🌟 And don’t worry… there will also be moments of…”

“I just did my IDC with IDC Sardegna and it was the most amazing experience in my life. I love all of the staff with all my heart. The support, the training, the organisation and in generall every day was structured perfect. It was a challengig time, but I fully enjoyed it and was able to do a big step in my diving live. Special thanks to the Course Director Luca, who is one of the most inspiring persons I met in my whole life. Lets see what time does, but if I ever gonna do a contiuing education I will do it with him. Grazie”

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”

I can only recommend that you take an instructor course with them so that you too can join this wonderful world in the most beautiful way possible 🙂”
