PADI Divemaster Skills Circuit and IDC Skills Circuit is one of the biggest challenges in the course. In this video I will show you how to get full scores on your PADI Divemaster Skills Circuit and IDC Skills Circuit.

During your PADI Divemaster and Dive Instructor IDC course you need to perform a PADI Dive Skill Workshop (Skill Circuit) demonstrating most of the PADI Open Water Diver skills. You will be scored a between a 1 and a 5, with a 5.0 being the highest score and a 1.0 the lowest.

PADI Standards from the PADI Dive Instructor Manual for the PADI Divemaster Skills Circuit and IDC Skills Circuit:

“To demonstrate all scuba and skin diving skills, scoring at least a 3 on each skill, and scoring at least 82 points total, with at least one underwater skill to a 5”.

Conduct:

Describe for candidates the characteristics of a demonstration quality skill, and explain that the focus is on exaggerating the critical attributes.
Demonstrate each skill, and have candidates practice.
After practice, have candidates perform each skill for a score. Remediate as necessary until candidates meet the performance requirement.

Scoring Criteria:

5.0 Exercise performed correctly, slowly and with exaggerated movement – appeared easy
4.0 Exercise performed correctly and slowly enough to adequately exhibit or illustrate details of skill
3.0 Exercise performed correctly, though too quickly to adequately exhibit or illustrate details of the skill
2.0 Exercise performed with significant difficulty or error
1.0 Candidate unable to perform exercise

Note: These criteria are used to score skill evaluations throughout all levels of PADI leadership training: PADI Divemaster, PADI Diving Instructor, PADI IDC Staff Instructor and PADI Course Director.

To meet the performance requirements of the Divemaster course PADI standards states that you only have to pass 1 DPADI Divemaster Skills Circuit and IDC Skills Circuit. In our opinion this is not enough to become a successful and good Divemaster. Our mission at Sairee Cottage Diving is to train only Divemasters and Dive Instructors with the highest quality possible. For this reason our Divemaster Candidates complete 3 PADI Dive Skill Workshops (Skill Circuits) during their Divemaster course.

We even put the level of quality even higher during the PADI Dive Instructor IDC course as we only pass our IDC candidates with 5.0 full points on all skills.

We also want to see during the demonstration a lot of “reminders” of important steps to perform the dive skill well and safe. On top of this we only give a 5.0 if the IDC candidate reminds their recreational students about any time or distance in a particular PADI dive skill.
