Most IDC schedules are very structured and dates are usually fixed. At TSD we recognize that you have other commitments and may not be able to attend one of our regularly scheduled IDCs. We prefer to schedule our IDCs immediately before the PADI IEs, however, it is not required to complete your IE immediately after the IDC. The PADI IE schedules are the only thing that are fixed, so if you want to do your PADI IDC with us, but cannot find a date to suit you, just contact us and we will try and find a suitable schedule.

If there is no IE date in the Philippines to match your visit, then we will find one in another country that works for you. You can do this anywhere in the world, so if you want to go back to your home country, to continue your travels, or even to come back and see us another time, we can help you arrange it! The IEs only take 2-3 days and there are many happening every month all around the world.

Sarah had plenty of time and really wanted to do her IDC at TSD, but was unable to come for one of our regularly scheduled Instructor courses.

She decided to complete PADI eLearning in advance and then we scheduled a one-on-one IDC with Course Director Rich Reardon, while her partner completed his Divemaster course.

Thailand was next on Sarah's list of countries to visit, so we arrange for her to take her IE in Koh Samui with the support of part-time TSD Course Director, Camille Lemmens!

Louise was teaching English in Malaysia and could not get enough of TSD! She managed to make it here no less than 4 times in less than 6 months! First to fun dive, then to complete her DM. Next up was IDC. As she was on a very tight work schedule, she completed PADI eLearning in advance.

She spent her 6 diving days in Malapascua finishing her IDC as well as a mammoth 5 Instructor Specialty Ratings!

Luckily she was able to take a few days off a month later to attend our next IE. Louise joined our Course Director and his IDC group in Cebu in November 2010, and passed the IE with flying colours! A sterling job from Louise!

So let us know your situation and we will see what we can do to help you out!
