About this course

Discover Scuba Diving Leader

Discover Scuba Diving sessions are, for a lot of people, their very first breath underwater - and the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Leader course is about making sure that first experience is handled by someone properly trained to do it. It's designed specifically for Divemasters who want to introduce complete beginners to diving in a way that's safe, well structured, and doesn't rely on an instructor being present for every session.

Through practical training at our Reading centre, you'll learn how to plan and run a Discover Scuba Diving experience from start to finish, working within PADI standards throughout - covering everything from the confined water introduction and essential safety briefing to reading how a first-time participant is coping and adapting the session accordingly.

Being able to lead these sessions independently is a genuinely useful string to a Divemaster's bow. It opens up more responsibility and more variety day to day, and gives dive centres the flexibility to offer try-dive experiences without always needing to schedule an instructor.

To join the course you'll need to already hold a PADI Divemaster certification, since the whole programme is built specifically for divers at that level. If you're a Divemaster looking to broaden what you can offer and take a genuine step up in responsibility, this is a practical, focused course that does exactly that.

“🌊 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.”

“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 🙂”
