The April Instructor development course finished with all 5 of our candidates acing the IE. What a great group we had this month, always managing to find humour in everything we did. It's been a while since I laughed so much in an IDC! Thanks for my making what is already the best job in the world even more fun.
The Bay Islands is one of the most popular areas in the world to become a dive instructor. Why?
The cost of living in the Bay Islands is low. Roatan and Utila both have plenty of options for both accommodation and food that suit people on a budget. Roatan is a much larger island, that is far easier to get to, as a result it also hace plenty of more luxurious options as well. This sometimes give Roatan the reputation of being more expensive. It isn't, it just had a wider range of accommodation and restaurant options.
Most people visiting the Bay Islands will choose one of the direct flights to Roatan International Airport from Dallas, Miami, Houston, Montreal, Toronto, Atlanta or Grand Cayman. There are also flight to mainland San Pedro which tend to be cheaper, but require an internal connection, either by air or bus and boat.
The water conditions are just perfect for learning to dive, or learning to teach scuba diving through the PADI IDC. The water is warm, clear and calm. The reef is healthy an stunning dive sites are a matter of minutes boat ride from the shore.
If you are thinking of becoming a scuba instructor, look no further than the Bay Islands of Honduras for your IDC.

I have created a quiz you can take over and over, you would probably have to take it at least 8 times before you will have seen all the questions as it randomly selects 20 questions out of a bank of over 100 questions each time you take it! So play it over and over!
Many of the questions i have not yet covered in my notes on the website. I will eventually have study notes and practice videos to cover all these questions.
