What does the PADI IDC cost? This is the question that is often at the front of concerns about the IDC so we would like to explain how it all works. There are some fees for your training and materials that are paid directly to us at Ocean Tribe. The instructor application fees and the instructor examination fee are paid directly to PADI EMEA. We do also have packages from the various diver levels to try and reduce the costs for divers wanting to purchase multiple courses, combining them into an internship package, which includes the courses and dives and even full sets of dive equipment. A breakdown of the IDC costs is below.
