Thx.

I am not an instructor, but I was out on the boat a few times with Will Welbourn, the PADI course director who works out of Coconut Tree Divers here in Roatan. I thought he was very articulate and the feedback he was giving his student made a lot of sense to me. Look in the thread "Next Up Rotan" & he has a post, so you could PM him that way. (Other than as a paying customer, I am not affiliated with CTD in any way.)

I would recommend Dockside Dive Center Roatan Divemaster Internship at Dockside Dive Center, Western Caribbean
Patty Grier is the owner and has been on Roatan for many years..they are located at CoCoView

The OP wants to do an IDC - which requires a course director. Is there a course director at CCV?

The PADI IDC's on Roatan are Anthony's Key, Bananarama, Coconut Tree Divers, Subway Watersports and TGI Diving.
I second the recommendation for Will Welbourn at Coconut Tree. I overheard him teaching part of a class. I think the students were OWSI trainees based on the material they were covering. If you're looking to save a little money, CTD has a dorm that students can stay in - it's like $10 night or something. Cocaloca (Gay) here is the owner. They're great people also, fun to hangout with and overly accommodating.

Steve's list is correct, however the AKR and Bananarama currently do not
use resident course directors.

When did Dockside Divers become an IDC center? Good for them, they have just kicked it up a notch. So now one can choose from the list provided above and these new players. Hooray for you, the candidate.

I'd recommend taking the IDC at coconut tree with Will. He's a gifted and dedicated instructor, and coconut tree is a really fun place. Just make sure you stay away from the turtles!
And Will has a great web site with Roatan info!
