PADI IDC Professional Scuba Instructor Development Center

Welcome to Rainbow Reef's professional scuba diving academy, a 5 Star PADI CDC, located on our sprawling island training campus, and connected to one of the largest and busiest dive centers in the world. We offer PADI professional training at every course/level, virtually every day. It means you can start your IDC/professional training courses/career virtually anytime you want. At Rainbow Reef IDC, you simply choose when you want to start, and what level you want to train up to.

This effectively makes it YOUR IDC on YOUR SCHEDULE, not our IDC on our schedule. What a difference!

• YOUR COURSES ON YOUR SCHEDULE

  Achieve your goals on your schedule. Start your professional training at ANY LEVEL virtually any time. You can create a custom training package, using our Fast Track or Island Time schedules, or create your own path and schedule and train as fast or as far as you want to go.

• WORLD-CLASS INSTRUCTION

  Our TEAM of PADI Platinum Course Directors ensure each candidate gets personalized attention. Our staff teaches fluently in English, Spanish, French, Dutch and German.

• THE PROFESSIONAL CHOICE

  Thousands of dive professionals started their careers at Rainbow Reef. There is no better place to train than our state of the art IDC campus which features a dedicated scuba pool, modern accommodations, and dedicated staff ready to leverage their experience to help you become a confident and successful PADI dive professional.

• EXOTIC BUT NOT TOO EXOTIC

  We are located on the island of Key Largo, part of the Florida Keys, just south of Miami. We are a tropical exotic island, and our Air conditioning, high speed internet, are always on but we don't need mosquito nets or have political uprisings. The only thing you need protection from here is the sun, bring your sunblock!
