GO PRO PADI INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSES AND INTERNSHIPS
PADI Open Water Instructor is the most sort after instructor qualification in the world today and currently there is a real shortage for PADI Instructors in the Asia Pacific Region.
Go Dive Marlborough run 7 day IDC’s on a regular bases from our operation in Marlborough or from one of our partner PADI Dive Centres situated in Rarotonga or Port Villa, Vanuatu.
Brent McFadden who has been running IDC’s for 8 years is permanently based in Picton, Marlborough and travels to partner centres as required, Brent has a 100% completion rate for all candidates on his IDC’s and a subsequent 99% combined candidate success rate on all past IE’s.
The key to the success on Go Dive IDC’s is the relaxed environment and comprehensive pre IDC training given by Go Dive Marlborough or partner IDC Centres. The IDC is scheduled to take 7 days with 5.30pm finishes each day, we do not believe in extending the training late into the evening or beyond the suggested 7 day curriculum recommended by PADI.
A day between the IDC and IE is generally available for any remedial training if required.
