  • When and How

    The programme runs all year long, best is to email us your plans and we will get back to you with availability. We would advise to avoid October and November because of Monsoon season.

    The course lasts for 6 months and the final 2 weeks will be the start of your IDC, the dates change often, but the programme will take into account the IDC date.

    During the first 12 weeks you will obtain all your preliminary qualification up to Divemaster. For the next 10 weeks you will work as a Divemaster (unpaid) to gain experience, finally you will complete your IDC. The IDC part of the course runs on the following dates so you need to plan your start date accordingly (ask us for help if you need!)
