About this course
Fish Identification Instructor
Being able to name what you are looking at underwater changes the way you dive, turning a pleasant swim past the reef into a genuinely engaging encounter. This instructor course qualifies PADI professionals to teach that skill properly, training you to organise, promote and run the PADI Fish Identification Specialty Diver course at your own dive centre.
The training focuses on giving you a structured, confident approach to teaching fish identification, from helping students recognise families and behaviour patterns to building the observational habits that make every subsequent dive more rewarding. It emphasises just how much value this kind of specialty adds for everyday divers, many of whom are looking for exactly this sort of course to deepen their interest beyond basic certification.
You will need to hold Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or instructor-candidate status to enrol, and the course is taken as a Specialty Instructor programme. As with other specialties, there may be additional prerequisites or exit requirements attached, so check these before booking.
Along the way you will pick up teaching tips and hands-on experience you can put into practice immediately with your own students. Fish Identification is a popular, approachable specialty to add to your teaching portfolio, and also counts toward Master Scuba Diver Trainer status, which requires five or more Specialty Instructor certifications.

“🌊 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★★★★★
“Becoming a diving instructor has recently become my biggest dream in life :) And this dream has finally come true, largely thanks to the wonderful team at IDC Sardegna, who shared all their love and knowledge of diving with me in the best possible way! 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★★★★★
