Where for PADI IDC? Gildenburgh? Go Dive?
Hello guys. Looking for some views on where to do PADI IDC. So far I have looked at Gildenburgh, Go DIve, London Dive CEntre. Has anyone trained either of these and has any views? Are there other centres you would recommend? The price seems to vary - is it a case of you get what you pay for?? Thanks for any info,

Brian

You'll probably pay the same to go abroad and do it including flights, etc. Some very good deals around if you look, Thailand is cheap so is Florida.

There is one starting the 14 of may on Tenerife as well. CD Clive Albon. I staffed the last one there and he does a great job. PM me if you want to know more.

Arno Schlosser is a great CD here on Phuket (www.scubaidc.com) as has been said it can prove cheaper to do it out here and in the current situation discounts are available on accomodation etc.

I'd go with what the others have recomended and try and find one abroad, especially at this time of the year as you will be spending a lot of time in the water. I did mine in Malta.

Talking UK or Abroad...?
It is true that you get what you pay for within reason. Once you decide whether you are prepared to do it in UK or abroad, then you can narrow things down.

My 2 penny worth is to look at Stoney Cove - The Diver Training set up is excellent, and they use Rob Scammell as CD. (His success rate is beyond question.)

If you need further info, PM me and I will provide you with lock, stock & barrel.

It is warmer for a start and that is the important bit. If there are lets say 8 of you doing the IDC/IE you spend a long time waiting in the water. By the time it is your turn to demonstrate a skill you are stiff with cold and then things don´t go as smooth as they could.
Had a guy here on an IDC in December who did his first pool session in a 3 mil shorty.............three and a half hours later he was a lovely shade of purple. He did the next one in a 7 mil semi dry. He learned that you cant hover when you are busy shivering.

just my 2 cents worth

Talking Rob Scammell
Another vote for Rob for the UK, I have contact numbers if you want, he also runs IDC at other locations.
