PADI IDC Egypt
Become a diving instructor with our PADI IDC Egypt programmes in Hurghada. Choose a full IDC or a Divemaster-to-IDC pathway, with pre-learning options and experienced support.
Prices on request after a private consultation. We usually run five to six IDCs a year, with exact dates and your package agreed before booking.
PADI IDC Egypt: your next step into teaching
Turn your passion for diving into the skills and confidence to teach others. Our PADI Instructor Development Courses in Hurghada bring together preparation, professional training and personal support from a team that understands diving in Egypt.
Whether you are already a Divemaster or need a longer route towards instructor training, we will help you plan a suitable package. We offer full IDCs, pre-learning options and combined Divemaster-to-IDC packages, with prices provided after a private consultation.
You will be working towards more than a new qualification. This is an opportunity to develop the way you explain skills, support students and approach your responsibilities as a diving professional.
Already a Divemaster?
Tell us about your qualification, diving experience and the areas you would like to strengthen. We will discuss your readiness for the IDC and the preparation that would help you get the most from it.
Your package can include pre-learning and preparation before the main course. We agree the programme, required materials and arrangements with you before booking so you know what to work on and when to arrive.
Divemaster and IDC packages
If becoming an instructor is your goal but you have not yet completed Divemaster training, we can discuss a combined pathway. Your starting qualification and experience will shape the plan and the time you need.
Read about our PADI Divemaster course, then speak to us about progressing towards the IDC. We will explain the stages and confirm the entry requirements that apply to you.
Experienced people supporting your development
Our Course Director has held Platinum Course Director status for the past 14 years and has trained hundreds of people to become diving instructors. One of Egypt’s longest-standing Course Directors, he is highly regarded within PADI and has trained the owner of Dive UK Hurghada and both of our permanent instructors. That shared training background gives our team a strong understanding of the care, preparation and professionalism we want future instructors to develop.
Our two permanent Master Instructors have many years of experience in Egypt. Between their guided diving and teaching, they have taken thousands of divers diving and taught hundreds of courses. They previously managed liveaboards and now focus on land-based diving in Hurghada.
We have also helped many students progress towards becoming instructors through the IDC. Meet the Dive UK Hurghada instructors and learn more about the team supporting your time with us.
When can you join an IDC in Egypt?
We run around five to six IDCs each year, usually in February, May, July, September and December. These are our usual course months, rather than confirmed start dates.
Contact us for the next available course, its exact dates and the preparation time your package needs. If you are combining Divemaster training with an IDC, allow time for the earlier stages too. We will help you plan the sequence before you arrange your travel.
Please confirm your course place and dates with us before booking flights or accommodation.
Prices after a private consultation
There is no single package that suits every future instructor. Your quote depends on your starting point, preparation needs and the training you want to include. All IDC prices are therefore on request following a private consultation.
We will go through the proposed training, pre-learning, materials and any additional elements with you. We will also clarify examination arrangements, professional fees, equipment needs and anything quoted separately, so you can understand the full plan before committing.
Send us your current qualification, experience, preferred course month and whether you want an IDC-only or Divemaster-to-IDC pathway. You do not need to have every detail worked out; the consultation is there to help you choose.
Make Hurghada your base while you train
Land-based training gives you a place to return to each evening, with time to study and prepare for the next day. We can discuss accommodation alongside your training package and help you plan the practical details of your stay.
If you would like time in the Red Sea before training begins, ask us about arranging diving around your course. Accommodation, additional diving and transfers are discussed and priced as part of your individual quote.
