Seattle Scuba is the only PADI Instructor Development Center in the Pacific Northwest with
Two Full Time PADI Silver Course Directors on staff.
Where other facilities have contract Course Directors who show up only to teach the Instructor Course, Our Two Course Directors are both full time instructors. They are here 24/7 to answer your questions and assist you in fulfilling your goals. Combined, our Course Directors bring over 56 years of dive training expertise to our Instructor Development Courses.
You will not find a more experienced training team or a more thorough, more professional Instructor Course.
At Seattle Scuba you have Three options to choose from in our IDC Program. Standard, Deluxe and Basic IDC Programs
We also offer two different IDC schedules. For Seattle area residents, who cannot get weekdays free, we offer an Evening Program on evenings and weekends. For people coming to Seattle for the program (or residents that want to get it completed in the shortest time possible) we offer a Full Immersion Program that is two weeks of full days.
Our IDC programs are all inclusive. ALL tuition fees, ALL Materials Fees, ALL registration fees and ALL application fees. The only additional charge will be the PADI Instructor Examination Fee which is payable directly to PADI when you attend the IE upon completion of the IDC
If you are comparing prices be sure to get all the costs. Most facilities list only IDC course tuition fees when advertising their instructor programs. You are not told about the thousands of dollars in PADI materials and PADI application fees that will be added on later. They also don't tell you about the Emergency First Response Instructor Course and it's materials you must complete as a prerequisite to taking the Instructor Examination (IE).
Our pricing includes everything involved in completing your IDC.
