Company description The Instructor Training College is unique in the world. It was PADI itself that started the development of this center in 1985 and the center was run by PADI until 1994 under the name of PADI European College.
As PADI decided to concentrate on support of training and not on training itself, all PADI Colleges, including the PADI European College were closed and two former employees from the College were offered the possibility to take over the already excellent infra structure.
It was Daniela Goldstein who, with the help form Jan Oldenhuizing, continued working on this location in 1994 and named it the Instructor Training College, to reflect the major activity of the center.
Specially build for diving, it is for all the infrastructure of the IT College that makes it unique: the fully equipped classrooms, the location directly at the Mediterranean Sea, the big garden guaranteeing tranquility, the on-site pool, etc. etc.
The next unique aspect is the staff. The IT College works with a full time team of Course Directors and Staff Instructors that belong to the most known around the world. Next to our duties in teaching we have done field testing for PADI and MARES and received recognition in many forms.
Also traveling and accommodation do not pose a problem. Cannes is easy to reach by highway and by air (the airport from Nice is less than half an hour away) and only minutes walking from the College you will find many hotels and apartment buildings.
It is the total of location in the South of France, the people you will work with, the infrastructure, the fact that you will not need any transport during your stay, the expertise and the logistical support, what will make your training program as a diver or as an instructor unforgettable.
Location description: The Mediterranean Sea is a very interesting area for diving. For the purpose of diving, you could best describe it as a ``macro`` area. You do not come to the ``Med`` for whale sharks or mantas. Bigger fish is seldom seen in these area`s, but the number of smaller organisms is enormous. There is a big variation in bottom composition. Sand, sea grass and rock being most common. All of these have their own specific attractions and all of these are worth your while. For the naturalist or biology interested diver this area has all to offer what one could wish for.
The Instructor Training College is primarily a training center. We do guided dives every now and then, but this is not our main activity. We will be happy to guide you on a dive behind our center, but if you wish to do a boat dive, you want to refer to one of the many operations in and around Cannes, specialising in dive trips.
Behind the IT college you can expect to find octopus, moray eels, congers and many sorts of smaller fishes, starfish, nudibranches, anemones, sponges, etc.. Initially the bottom composition is sand, then progressing to sea grass and all around the area you`ll find rocks under water, each of them having many different organisms on them. Next to the natural environment, the IT College did a lot of effort to create artificial habitats for the organisms in the ``med``. Many came to stay, which makes sure that you can visit some fishes every day at the same spot.
After some guidance on the first few dives, you will find it easy to find the different locations yourself. The Instructor Training College is, next to other programs, running naturalist and fish identification programs.
These introduce you to the environment you are diving in, making you aware of the different species and the reasons behind their behaviour. This might be a good combination for you - going diving and learning things that make you understand and appreciate the environment under water even more than you already do.
After certification you will want to do some dives. You are welcome to gain experience at Instructor Training College. Our rental equipment is all “top line” from the brand MARES – a world leading manufacturer of diving equipment. As a certified diver you may choose between guided dives and diving with a buddy of your choice – in which case you only need equipment. The “Med” is not known for large animals such as whale sharks or manta’s, but is fantastic with respect to macro organisms. Behind the IT College we have both natural and artificial reefs, which promise you some fantastic dives.
