How to ace PADI IDC exams
Simple PADI IDC Preparation ideas
Do you want to be an Instructor and need help with PADI Dive Theory?
With the right preparation and attitude you can ace it!
There’s a lot of material to cover when it comes to PADI Dive Theory, and for trainee Instructors it can be hard to know where to start.
Not only that, but the PADI Instructor exams can seem tough if you’re not prepared.
As a PADI Instructor, you are expected to have a thorough understanding of dive theory in order to effectively teach your students.
However, if you don’t have enough knowledge to pass a written Dive Theory exam, you may feel like you’re not up to the task.
Some common problems that you might face
If it’s been a long time since you were last in school, you might find it difficult to focus.
You might be one of those people who are far better at practical stuff (like diving!) than academics.
It can be difficult to learn new things when you feel like your brain isn’t used to it anymore.
It doesn’t help when everyone else around you seems to be flying through the course.
Dive Physics is often the worse!
It seems to be full of mathematical formulas, seemingly unrelated to scuba diving.
The written exams then seem to be a jumble of words.
PADI Standards Exam
Not only Dive Theory. There’s also the PADI Standards exam to master.
Although that’s not so bad. You need to be familiar with your PADI Instructor Manual, so t usually just means getting a lot practice with mock exam papers.
The more practice you get, the easier and quicker it is to pass the PADI Standards Exam,
