IDC College ROOM & BOARD Options
Our SDI & PADI IDC (*) classroom sessions take place in hotel conference rooms and use the pools and dive center installations right inside resorts of Playa del Carmen, Mexico or Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Dive boats leave straight from the beach of these properties.
Both these areas are a great choice to complete your instructor course or IDC package, with a fantastic selection of restaurants, cafeterias, beach bars and night life for all budgets. They have hundreds of alternative hotels, aparthotels, hostels, bed and breakfast and apartment rental opportunities so everyone can find what they are looking for in line with their personal taste and budget.
Our Course Directors will help find the right hotel set up for you and can put you in contact with local real-estate agencies for the renting of apartments or studios. Dressel Divers itself is based in several luxury all-inclusive resorts along these coastlines (see our diving section) for which we can provide very competitive rates.
Our Course Directors will also inform you what the options are for meals during the IDC which range from our economic lunch box to our special IDC student hotel day pass rate. If you prefer you can also bring you own meal or sandwiches.
