Why do your IDC with Waterhoppers

Waterhoppers are the largest diving school in Greece.  We offer employment to many students each year and once you become a PADI Instructor from our IDC & IE program, we will also give you the opportunity to work for our prestige team at Waterhoppers in the upcoming season.

Why do your IDC in Rhodes

Rhodes is known as ‘The Island of Sun,’ because of its subtropical climate, and on average 300 days of sunshine a year, giving us the warm crystal clear waters, which provide us with perfect diver education conditions.   Our IDC is run in Rhodes Town which is made up of a cosmopolitan new town and a spectacular historical old medieval town.  The Rhodes old town is engulfed in a majestical medieval stone castle wall.  Within the city walls you can explore the city by foot – wander through the cobbled walkways, packed with the bazaar of shops, restaurants and bars and impressive historical monuments.

The contrasting new town has an altogether cosmopolitan feel, with modern shopping and chic and trendy cafes and restaurants, giving it the ‘city feel.’  Both the old and the new make Rhodes Town a truly unique place to complete your IDC. We can arrange accommodation for you. Just tell us your budget and you will have a choice of places which we have used in the past. And we also offer a free transfer service to the course each day!
