“EASE has a great staff! The Course Director made everyone feel comfortable and was willing to work late into the evening to provide individual attention to anyone who needed it. Staying right at the facility mean that we could help each other outside class hours and practice in the pool whenever we wanted. It also saved us a lot of time that we would’ve spent driving back and forth to a hotel and to find somewhere to eat. I would recommend EASE to anyone wanting a personalized and teamwork-based Instructor Development Course. The seven of us in the IDC felt ready as we entered the IE, and we all passed easily.”
“The EASE IDC is an incredible entry into the business of scuba instruction. EASE uses a winning combination of excellent instruction along with live-in housing for students. The quality of instruction comes from a deep level of experience, commitment, patience, and knowledge of people skills on the part of the Course Director. The course is intense, yet, because of the small class size, each student is mentored, tutored, monitored and encouraged throughout the IDC. The housing setup plays a key role in your success both in the IDC and the IE. Students live in a secluded house with pool and classroom for the entire 8 day course. The learning environment is deeply enriched by this. Students not only learn from the staff but from each other as well. The EASE IDC is very demanding, yet the rewards are high. You really gain a solid foundation for entering the business of Scuba Diving.”
“I attended the EASE IDC and easily passed the Instructor Examination. The staff was absolutely professional and dedicated to my success. I am now teaching full time in Hawaii and loving it. Thank you to the staff of EASE.”
“The environment created at EASE by the Course Directors and staff is extremely conducive, not only for attending the IDC, but also for becoming a quality instructor. Staying at the facility with such a small group ensures that you stay focused on learning and studying. The close personal attention we received helped us improve our techniques, and overcome our personal areas of difficulty. I had a great experience at EASE and would not hesitate to send any of my students there.”
“Having attended numerous other training programs where a substantial amount of information was presented in a relatively short amount of time, I feel the EASE IDC course I attended ranked among the best in instructor commitment to the success of all the candidates. The level of drive and commitment the staff displayed, I feel, separates EASE from other Instructor Development Courses.”
“Training with EASE was exactly that – all the hassle was taken away – food, a place to stay, laundry etc. We had no distractions so we could concentrate on more important things like physics! It’s an intense, but fun course with great staff who are always available to help and advise. The support of the staff continues after the IE. with assistance in finding work suitable for each individual. EASE is a brilliant place to do the IDC – good facilities, friendly staff, and above all, an unforgettable experience.”
“I took the PADI Divemaster program and IDC at EASE, and had a great time. The instructors were very knowledgeable, thorough, and they made the learning fun. Having the room and board included in the price was a big determining factor for me since I had to travel a long way to get there. I would highly recommend anyone interested in “Going Pro” to check these guys out, they’ve got they’re stuff, “all in one sack” so to speak. Thanks again Guys!”
“My IDC at EASE was very thorough, informative and very enjoyable. The Course Director was very attentive and always made himself available to answer our questions, whether it was at 7a.m or 11p.m!
