What's the best IDC in the Caribbean?

In Utila I did not stay at the Mango Inn. Andy recommended the Lighthouse based on my wants in lodging. The Mango is a very nice place and I would stay in a heart beat. Most of the UDC students did not stay at the Mango, but found cheaper fare or shared with other students. Therevwrte plenty of other lodging options when I did my DM at UDC two years ago.

I would say Pepe at Buddy Dive Bonaire

Bonaire is wonderful but it is expensive to live there. I was there for 3.5 months in college and spent all my money (which wasn't much to begin with, but still, it was easy to do).

I also recommend Barefoot Divers IDC. Barefoot Divers Roatan | PADI 5 Star IDC Resort | Roatan | Bay Islands

Course Director Gary Miller takes a great personal interest in making you a great instructor, NOT someone that can just pass the Instructor Examination. By the time he is finished with you you will be VERY prepared! As Iztok mentioned, they provide lodging in West End and transport you via shuttle to the Barefoot Resort each day. During the IDC lunch is provided each day too!

I just recently did my IDC at GoProCozumel which is run by Mike. Obviously they are in Cozumel and I felt it was a really organized program. Feel free to PM me for details. Lodging is included in the program as well as lunch on study days. It was cheaper to do it through GoProCozumel (which included O2Instructor, EA Instructor and FA Instructor) than doing it locally in Seattle.
