Through the IDC you get a close look at what’s ahead of you in terms
effective teaching techniques. Here you acquire knowledge that will help you in
every teaching and presentation situation, far beyond dive-instructions!
"Tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what
you told them!"
You will get many opportunities to practice. You practice
in small groups, you test and make mistakes and you learn a lot from one day to
the other. It takes a lot of effort, but everyone finds this to be among the most
instructive course they have attended!
To teach people how to dive is
a demanding job! You have to motivate, correct, organize and always be in control
over the students and yourself. All this you will learn during the lectures that
continue every day through the whole IDC. You will also get a thorough understanding
of PADI’s teaching system, from PADI Open Water to PADI Divemaster.
You
learned dive planning during your Divemaster course, now you will learn how to
give your students a professional dive-briefing before the pool exercises and
ocean dives and a de-briefing after each dive! You will learn how to prepare a
dive-briefing and how to use it and you will have plenty of time to practice.
