The benefits of taking the IDC Prep course
Confidence
I’m going to show you the benefits of taking the complete online PADI IDC preparation course.
Actually the stress isn’t caused by the course itself.
Most people feel nervous before taking their PADI IDC, and that’s completely normal! After all, it’s a big step in your diving career.
You might be thinking “The IDC is just another PADI dive course, why would I need to take another program to prepare?”
I’ve been a PADI Course Director for over 20 years. I’ve taught over 100 IDCs.
The one common factor that I’ve found on most of them is STRESS!
The cause of that stress is usually that people are not fully prepared.
They’re not exactly sure what to expect on their course.
