About this course
Not every PADI specialty is about technical skill development - some exist purely to bring fun, creativity, and a sense of occasion to diving, and the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Specialty is exactly that kind of course. This instructor training qualifies experienced PADI professionals to organise, promote, and run their own Underwater Pumpkin Carving Specialty Diver courses, giving divers a memorable and social reason to get in the water together.
To take this instructor course you will need to already hold a PADI Instructor or PADI Freediving Instructor rating and have certified a minimum of 25 divers, reflecting the fact that this specialty, while lighthearted in spirit, is built on genuine teaching experience. Because the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Specialty is a distinctive specialty programme, part of the process involves writing and submitting your own specialty course outline along with a Specialty Instructor Application to PADI's Customer Relations Department for approval.
Once your outline is approved, you are able to issue certifications in the specialty to your own students, giving you a unique, ready-made event to run each year - a great way to bring existing divers back to the centre, introduce a bit of light-hearted competition underwater, and build community around the sport.
For instructors who already have a solid teaching background and want to add something genuinely different to their specialty line-up, this course is a fun, low-pressure way to do it.

“🌊 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★★★★★
