Time Saver option: We present the classroom curriculum via live online presentations over 8, three hour blocks whilst you are at home, followed by the in water presentations in the Dominican Republic.

How does it work?

Are you time poor? Can’t get away for 2 weeks to partake in a full PADI IDC? Want to save money on travel and accomodation?

Do I get the same quality education?

Our location

Dominican Republic

Our PADI 5 star IDC dive centre, Reef Oasis Dive Club, is located on the South East coast in Bayahibe, only a short drive from the capital Santo Domingo.

The warm tropical waters of the Caribbean island, the Dominican Republic, is only a short flight away from the east coast of the USA and Canada and is serviced by direct flights from Europe. The perfect place for your PADI IDC.

What's the diving like?

Wrecks

We have two wrecks on offer. The one pictured here is the St. George, which was purposely sunk as an artificial reef. Just a short 5 minute boat ride from the beach, she lies in 30 meters with the superstructure in about 12 meters.

Warm water

Water temperatures vary between 25C in the winter to 29 to 30 C in the summer months. It is rare to have less than 30 meters visibility on the wreck. Your PADI Wreck specialty instructor training is done on this wreck.

Incredible diving

Out house reefs are littered with artefacts from the Spanish fleet, with canons, cannon balls and even old anchors.
