Dive theory PADI IDC/IE

There are some good recommendations above. Having gone through an IDC last year and having formally studied both physics and physiology, I would be happy to help if you would like to post specific questions!

Thanks for now it’s going good. I am actually ahead of most of the class but I will let you all know if I get stuck somewhere.

Ok so this is not directly a dive theory question but I am preparing for my next session and we are doing our cw dive presentations. I cant seem to find the exacte performance requirement « «for deep water exit» in the instructor manual. Any ideas?

Hint: if you can't find something in the IM, look in the Guide to Teaching.

I did before posting. In GTT it actually suggests how to go about teaching the skill but dose not specify the exacte performance requirement in bold back. That’s what’s the CD told us he wanted word for word.

Taken from page 59 of the 2020 IM:

That is the performance requirement. The key word is "appropriate" and is why it does not go into more detail. On a small boat, an appropriate deep-water entry is a back roll. Off a dock, it will probably be a giant stride. In a pool, either a giant stride or a side-roll. The "appropriateness" of a deep-water entry depends on the location, conditions, and physical abilities of the diver. An adaptive student with a bad back probably cannot do a giant stride, so you might recommend a side-roll for them.

Some things that a "bad student" might to do not meet the performance requirement might be, for example, making a tiny little hop instead of a giant stride (risk of hitting tank on edge of pool), or not checking directly below you before entering, or not entering with the regulator in the mouth, etc.

Thanks for your help, I understand the appropriate part but that’s for deep water entry. I am looking for deep water exit in cw. The closest I found was « exit using the most appropriate technique »

Hi,
In the PADI Guide to Teaching Rev 9/16 Ver 1.04 page 22 are guidelines from CW Dive 2.

Hope this helps.

I am currently going through the new PADI IDC. I do consider myself a good diver but I do find myself struggling a bit during the workbook and practice exams. They're are things I do not re call learning or practicing or maybe I just simply forgot.
My CD and instructors are going to help teach us a bit of this stuff but I would like to make sure I'm ahead and knowledgable for any exams.
I did see PADI offers Dive Theory eLearning. It would have been nice if it was included in my course but it's an extra 160+tax.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Should of done the online dive theory during divemaster course. Expect to spend close to $3,000 all said and one, then around $700 for insurance every year, and another around $170 yearly for member dues. It can be worth it all if you work for a busy dive center. If not at a busy dive center then it may take years if you ever recoup your expenses.

$274 for renewal if you do automatic renewal otherwise it is $319.
