During the course, you'll apply your dive knowledge and skills while learning to use the PADI System of diver education in the classroom and in the water. The IDC is really two courses in one -- the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Because you can split the course into two blocks, the IDC fits into your busy schedule.
