About this course

Deep Diver Instructor

Deep diving is one of the most requested specialties among certified divers keen to safely extend their depth range, and the Deep Diver Specialty Instructor course equips you to meet that demand. Over one focused day you will learn how to organise, promote, and run the PADI Deep Specialty Diver course to a consistently high standard, moving beyond simply knowing the material to actually teaching it well.

The course covers the practical realities of instructing at depth, from managing narcosis awareness and gas planning with students to structuring dives that build confidence progressively rather than rushing divers past their comfort zone. You will also look at how to present the value of deep training to divers who may not yet see why it matters, which is often the difference between a specialty that sits unused on a price list and one that regularly fills a class.

Entry is open to PADI Assistant Instructors, instructor candidates currently in training, and PADI Divemasters. There is also a direct application route for those who have already certified at least twenty-five divers and logged at least twenty dives specifically within the deep diving specialty area.

It is a natural addition for instructors training and working out of our Reading centre who want to broaden what they can confidently teach.

“🌊 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 🙂”
