Ocean Without Borders: 4 Corners IDC
A world-class IDC for world-ready instructors. The geography makes no sense — but the IDC does.
What Makes Our IDC Different
At 4 Corners Scuba, we don’t just certify instructors — we build globally minded, eco-conscious, and adventure-ready dive professionals.
Here’s what sets us apart:
6 Course Directors, 5 Flags, 1 Mission
Our international team of six Course Directors from the Netherlands, China, the US, UK, and Spain brings unmatched diversity and experience. With multiple mentors guiding you through every step of the IDC, you benefit from global perspectives, team teaching, and truly well-rounded training.
Teach for the Planet
We include full training and certification as a PADI Coral Reef Restoration Diver Specialty Instructor — giving you the tools to teach divers how to make a real impact beneath the surface.
You won’t just learn how to teach — you’ll learn how to lead change.
DPV Instructor Rating
You’ll also graduate as a PADI DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) Specialty Instructor.
Scooter diving is thrilling, practical, and increasingly in demand. We teach you how to safely run these courses, handle logistics, and deliver excitement — all while adding real value to your instructor profile.
Compressor Awareness Specialty Instructor
Because real pros know what’s behind the bubbles.
Learn how to safely operate, maintain, and troubleshoot compressors — and teach others to do the same.
It’s hands-on, practical, and yes… surprisingly fun.
