| Roy,
As usual I don't think it matters where you do your IDC but I do think it's important with whom you do it.
Paul Chard "Chardy" and myself did it with a guy called Rob Scammell who works for several places around the country including Underwater Explorers and Capernwray, he is very good and PADI know that if you get through him you'll make the grade at IE.
When Paul and I did our IE we knew we were well prepared and listening and watching others you could tell we were. All Rob's students passed their IE and this seems to be the norm.
The IDC with Rob is tough but it's so worth it.
Rob is also an IE Examiner for PADI elsewhere in the world.
If you need any further help please feel free to get in touch.
Good luck!
