To protect the environment, all our course documentation is completed online, no actual paper is wasted.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">As soon as you sign up for your online course, we will send you further material and all forms via dropbox \u2013 so you can get most of the paperwork out of the way before you arrive \u2013 and everything will be digital only.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Many candidates underestimate the depth of the Dive Theory knowledge they should already possess through previous courses and especially the Divemaster rating. We will give you a test exam early so you can assess yourself a little in preparation. Dive Theory itself is not part of the IDC itself, but you will need to pass an exam during IDC and IE. So worth reviewing beforehand!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1080705524\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">In fact we highly recommend to also do the \u201cPADI Dive Theory\u201d eLearning course as it is interactive and really quite useful to see videos of how equipment is being made, how concepts work and play with some quizzes along the way. Here is the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.padi.com\/scuba-diving\/elearning\/?irra=2736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eLearning<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Check that you have all the required PADI Material and Equipment required for professionals. If you don\u2019t, just drop us a line and we may be able to organize that for you.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Plan to arrive a day early to meet everyone and jump in the pool for some equipment and weighting finetuning before the IDC actually starts.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Select the specialty instructor ratings you would like to earn to beef up your CV right away.
