Become a PADI Instructor. Train in Sardinia. Start Your Next Adventure.
Take the next step in your diving career with our PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) in Golfo Aranci, Sardinia — combining professional-level instructor training, exceptional mentorship and one of the Mediterranean’s most inspiring diving destinations.
Led by PADI Course Director Luca Pelizzari and supported by an experienced team of Master Instructors and IDC Staff Instructors, our IDC is designed to do more than prepare you for the Instructor Examination. We’ll help you develop the confidence, teaching ability and real-world skills needed to step into your first role as a professional PADI Instructor.
Flexible Learning Before Sardinia
Your journey begins before you arrive. Complete the theoretical elements through PADI eLearning, complemented by live online Zoom sessions with the team. This gives us more time in Sardinia to focus on practical development, workshops, teaching techniques and preparing you for life as an instructor.
Nine Days of Immersive Instructor Training
Once in Sardinia, you’ll undertake twelve intensive days of practical training, developing your skills both in and out of the water.
You won’t simply learn how to pass the PADI Instructor Examination — you’ll learn how to teach, lead, problem-solve and inspire divers.
More Support. More Experience. More Confidence.
With a professional instructional team bringing together 100+ years of combined diving-industry experience, you’ll benefit from individual feedback, mentoring and support throughout your IDC.
Our aim is simple: when you reach your Instructor Examination, you should feel prepared, confident and ready for what comes next.
Start Your Instructor Career With More
Your professional development doesn’t have to stop at the IDC. Your programme also includes the Enriched Air Diver Instructor and Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor ratings, helping you begin your teaching career with additional qualifications from day one.
