If I might hazard a guess: you were first taught on your knees and were never taught the simple physics behind it all?Do not agree. For me, it was very hard.
Master Diver is not a certification. It's simply like McDonalds badges: I've collected 5 'stars'/specialities. "master diver" is purely a marketing ploy.
I didn't have that when I went for my NAUI IDC. I went in with a PADI DM cert.and is a prerequisite to all leadership courses

You said it was a pre-requisite for all leadership courses... the IDC is a leadership course. I don't think it's required for their DM or AI course either. It's been a while since I taught for NAUI, so I could be wrong about current standards. But that's what my feeble mind is remembering.NAUI doesn't have an "IDC" course or training with this name at all.

We called it either an IDC or an ITC... it's the "Instructor Development Course" and how you became an instructor. Feel free to call it whatever you or NAUI want. We took it to become an instructor. Mine was brutal.NAUI does NOT have a course called "IDC"
