About this course
Tec 45 Instructor is where technical diving instruction moves beyond recreational limits, training the next generation of divers who want to explore wrecks, deep reefs and marine life that recreational depths simply cannot reach. Over seven days, this course prepares experienced instructors to teach open-circuit technical diving safely, rigorously and to the standard that this level of diving demands.
The training covers how to plan, supervise and teach dives that go beyond recreational no-decompression limits, working with enriched air and full technical configurations. Because technical diving carries real consequences for getting things wrong, the course places heavy emphasis on the judgement, risk management and teaching discipline needed to bring students through decompression diving safely and confidently.
This is an advanced professional qualification, and the prerequisites reflect that. Candidates need to hold PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor or higher, along with PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty Instructor and PADI Deep Diver Specialty Instructor ratings, plus twenty five EANx dives deeper than 30m/100ft and Tec 45 Diver certification, including ten decompression dives in full technical equipment. Application also requires having certified twenty five divers and logged one hundred and fifty dives, twenty of them decompression dives deeper than 30m/100ft.
For instructors who have built up this level of experience, Tec 45 Instructor is a genuine milestone, opening the door to teaching technical diving properly and giving your students access to a much bigger, more demanding underwater world.

“🌊 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…”Greta ValotiSardinia · Google review★★★★★

“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”Simon SablotnySardinia · Google review★★★★★

“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.”Christian FalcettelliSardinia · Google review★★★★★

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 🙂”Enzo MenichiniSardinia · Google review★★★★★
