About the Instructor Development Course #IDCwithWalter

In 2018, Devocean Divers Malapascua started to develop the
teaching of professional level by creating a specific divemaster
program under the supervision of Walter Schmit and Dorianne
Schmit, allowing the Dive Master Candidates (DMC’s) to have diving instructors specially dedicated to their training. As Course Director Walter G Schmit joined the Devocean Divers’ team, it felt just natural that Devocean Divers started to run its own Instructor Development Courses.
