IDC in Honduras with Utila Dive Centre

It's not just my love affair with Central America that has seen me living in this region for over the last 9 years. One of the great things I enjoy about training PADI Instructors in our IDC on Utila and offering other courses through Utila Dive Centre is the atmosphere, high standard and internship programs that we have designed in order to get you off to the best start as a PADI Instructor on Utila, throughout Central America or other scuba diving resort destinations around the world.  Whilst you can be assured you'll love your IDC and we will get you to pass the IE we prefer not to use this as a benchmark of your success, instead we will work with you as a PADI Instructor, beyond the standard PADI IDC, to see that you have the most success you can enjoy and get the most from this amazing lifestyle! If you talk to our IDC candidates from a few years ago you'll find that many have enjoyed success as dive Instructors, resort managers, liveaboard operators and some are even Course Directors themselves, our IDC on Utila, Honduras, Central America is world famous, even PADI Instructor Examiners have a tough time to leave Utila after visiting just to assess our IDC, come and find out why?!!!
