HOW TO BEST PREPAREAs you are on the way to do your IDC here in Thailand, with Alain, you might ask yourself how to best prepare for it. Well, you probably heard from your instructor or friends that “The IDC… That was easy.” or “The IDC… That was my most difficult course.” In fact an IDC is really demanding and all will depend on the previous courses, the Instructors teaching those and your own preparation before the IDC starts…. You have many ways to get ready, like attending an Assistant Instructor course here in Phuket, wait couple of weeks/months before continuing with the OWSI and IE or you can follow my recommendations below, and complete a full IDC in one time here in Thailand. Why? Because everything you’ll learn, will be fresh in your head for the Instructor Examination. DIVING THEORYWell, this is where usually candidates have problems, especially with the following topics: (Physics, Physiology, Equipment, RDP and Skills and Environment) 1. Go over the files alain
will send you after booking, Divemaster section and read the knowledge
development part for the 5 topics mentionned above. SYSTEM, STANDARDS & PROCEDURESThis part will take you some times as you are required to do some self study before attending an AI or the IDC. 1. The independent study takes
place in your Instructor Manual, the Guide of Teaching and surfing in
the padi pro website. You will have to become more familiar with these
components before the idc. KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENTEven if you are to learn how to prepare Knowledge Development on the AI and the OWSI portions, what can you do, to know more about the topics: well…not that much, but you can read again the Open Water Diver Manual and the knowledge reviews…For the Adventures in Diving manual (AOWD) just read over the Deep Dive, Underwater Navigation and the Search & Recovery topics…In the Rescue Manual cover the all book and the knowledge reviews…Divemaster manual, well, only chapter 2,3 and 5…. CONFINED WATERIf you have plenty of time to prepare and you have a confined water environment near bye, you can review your demonstrations. Go over the Open Water course skills and do a Rescue refresher as you will have all these skills at the IDC…Don’t worry we have plenty of time for this, but….. look at my demonstrations videos ... DON'T FORGET...PREPARE YOURSELF... |
