Repeated presentation cycles polish briefing clarity, in-water control, and candidate evaluation skills so you feel ready for examiner-led assessments rather than only centre practice. Evenings often include knowledge review, presentation prep, and kit maintenance for the next water day. 📍 Location Institute-style weeks use our centre on Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 plus local confined and open-water sites for teaching practice dives that mirror student courses on Cabo de Palos reefs. Cohort dives often follow the same routes you will guide students on once you are teaching professionally, including boat days when confined water moves offshore for realistic Open Water skill circuits. ✅ Prerequisites Divemaster certification, the logged dive count required before the Instructor Examination, and current Emergency First Response training are required under PADI rules. We audit your log during enrolment. Professional attitude, completed knowledge reviews, and a stable calendar for intensive IDC weeks are essential because sessions build on each other daily. Bring dependable teaching kit and PADI materials as directed by your Course Director before day one. ⭐ Why Choose Us Experienced Course Directors know Murcia sites and holiday-season student profiles, tailoring teaching scenarios to real centre life rather than abstract classroom examples alone.
