If you are a dive instructor who strives for excellence in your teaching and consider safety your top priority, you are welcome to join the IDF.

In IDF, you are much more than just a number in the system. We work hard to stay in touch with you and host annual conventions with team-building activities. With us, you’re a real person, not a cog in a machine. You don’t have to follow a script – we leave you the freedom to use your own experiences and personalise the training process.

This means you don’t have to be concerned about providing your students with manuals or multimedia presentations that resemble those from previous decades. The educational materials we create are consistent with the latest scientific research and comply with the most recent pedagogical knowledge, which guarantees effective and enjoyable learning.

All interaction with IDF takes place via the Application (also available as a mobile app). You can use it to purchase training materials and apply for certificates. If you pay online and choose electronic versions of manuals and certificates, they will be available in your account within seconds after placing your order.

The cost of the annual instructor’s fee paid by 31 January is 130 euro (regardless of level)
The cost of each student certificate is PLN 15 euro
The cost of each printed manual is PLN 20 euro
The cost of each electronic manual is PLN 15 euro

This means you don’t have to pay any additional fees to the affiliate companies, and you can work as a freelancer independently.

This means, as an active instructor, you do not have to pay any additional costs for access to resources designed to facilitate your work. The latest course presentations and student manuals will always be up to date and available for download.

By joining IDF, you can be sure that your career development depends exclusively on you and your abilities. We encourage and appreciate our instructors’ willingness to develop, because we know that your success is our success.

We appreciate the evolution of artificial intelligence, but we don’t get carried away by it. In IDF, human problems are solved by human beings. We don’t use bots!

Your students receive lifetime access to their e-certificates and an e-library with manuals. This means that any updates to e-manuals made by IDF will automatically update the e-manuals in their accounts without any additional costs.
In addition, our app now features an e-Divelog with social networking functionality, allowing users to not only log their dives, but also add friends, post comments, ‘like’ posts, and grow their diving community.

In accordance with our motto – Safety First! – we implement a number of initiatives aimed at consistently improving the quality of our courses. All reported accidents and incidents are analysed by the Training Supervision Team, and extensive reports and conclusions are published in the same format as flight incident reports. This allows us all to learn from our mistakes instead of sweeping problems under the carpet.

The cost of the cross-over is 350 euro . This price includes:

• training
• e-certificates
• e-manuals for courses you can teach
• presentations for courses you can teach
• exemption from the instructor fee for the current year
