PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course Caribbean

[spencerthePA]

Looking for recommendations to take the PADI IDC Staff Instructor Course in the Caribbean region. I am a MSDT working part time in the Los Angeles area and my girlfriend is currently working on her divemaster candidacy. When she is finished we would like to move somewhere tropical and work as dive professionals for a couple years. She would likely continue into an IDC program wherever we ended up.

Also I am very interested in beginning Tec training, so anywhere that also has strong tec instuctors would be huge plus.

It would probably be helpful is you specified what technical diving interests you have. If you are interested in learning cave diving, then I suppose an obvious choice would be to move to the Mexican Riviera Maya area. If you are more interested in deep wrecks, another area might be better. I don't know.

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Truthfully I'm more concerned about the quality of instructor training I can find and would receive, for both my girlfriend and I. For now the short term goal is to continue my own education as a dive professional possibly making it to Course Director with PADI or crossing over to another agency.

The Tec diver training would be a PLUS. I have had no previous tec training (though I read up on it frequently), and am very curious person in regards to all aspects of technical training. So somewhere with a very strong fundamentals and/or intro program would be a huge bonus.

Are there a lot of popular tec dive sites on GC?

We're going there for the first time early next year and will be diving with Divetech. Would definitely be interested in training there down the road.
