There are many different options you can have for your PADI Instructor Package. You can do anything from a 6 week Divemaster/IDC program up to the full 8 month Open Water to Instructor with teaching experience program. If you only want to do your IDC, you can get more info here. Your Divemaster and Instructor package can be individually tailored, depending on your previous diving experience and requirements. There are also many package upgrades you can choose.
