PADI IDC with Jason Pritchard - Course Director

05/02/2026

✨️A New Generation Of PADI Instructors!!!✨️

- .wiggins review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

" I did my IDC with Jason after my Assistant Instructor course. He was very welcoming and a great course director to learn from.

I connected with him very well and he was a great mentor. He inspired me a lot to do some speciality instructor courses. He was wonderful and put on great courses with people to help assist. After 6 months I then got in contact to do my Staff Instructor with Jason.

It was another fantastic course where I learnt so much. I would always recommend Jason to any diver of any ability - looking to do an Open Water Course or to become an Instructor or continue professional training. "

Pushing Limits. Breaking Recrational Limits🌊💥

Huge congratulations to and , now certified PADI Tec Divers‼️

Jamie smashed through his Tec 40 & Tec 45, and Jon conquered his Tec 45, proving that true adventure starts where comfort zones end.

These courses test every diver’s skill and mindset, from precision gas planning to deep decompression dives where focus and control matter most. And they both nailed it.

Of course, no deep dive happens alone!
A massive shoutout to our awesome crew:
, , & for solid in-water support, and for shore cover and dive planning perfection.
Or as Louise says:

“Dive planning is like cooking a roast, get your ingredients (gases) right and time it perfectly!” 🍽️

STUDENT ➡ INSTRUCTOR ➡ MENTOR 🔁

This right here… is what growth looks like.
From their first dive to leading teams and shaping futures, Ashley and Johno are stepping into elite territory. And they didn’t just arrive here…They earned it.

Ashley – Assistant Instructor
Relentless energy. Next-level attitude. You didn’t just join the team, you elevated it. Now, every student you teach gets that same fire. You’ve become the diver others look up to. You’re the standard now.

John – IDC Staff Instructor
From nailing skills to mentoring future instructors, this is a whole new tier of leadership. You’re not just certified. You’re trusted to shape what comes next. IDC's gained a serious force.

As your Course Director, watching this transformation has been unreal.
The grind. The mindset shift. The leadership.
You’ve both proven you don’t just meet expectations, you raise them.

This isn’t the end. It’s the launchpad.
More responsibility.
More growth.
More impact.
