Frequently asked questions

What is included in the course price?
PADI course materials, tuition, air fills, site entry and parking, pool fees, equipment hire, and tea and coffee. PADI application fees and the Instructor Exam are additional.
Can I get teaching experience after I qualify?
Yes. At Dive In it does not stop when you complete your IDC — we can offer paid, real-world teaching experience in a friendly and supportive environment.
Do I need a medical?
Yes. You must have a medical signed by a doctor before any in-water professional training. If you plan to work in diving in the UK, get an HSE medical instead, as it covers both. Our medical requirements explain how.
