Evaluation Criteria PADI IDC and Divemaster Skills Circuit :
1 – participant unable to perform exercise
2 – exercise performed with significant difficulty or error
3 – exercise performed correctly, though too quickly to adequately exhibit (or illustrate) details of skill
4 – exercise performed correctly and slowly enough to adequately exhibit (or illustrate) details of skill
5 – exercise performed correctly, slowly and with exaggerated movement (appeared “easy”)
You can still demonstrate all the new PADI IDC Skills Circuit on your knees (unless a mobile skill). However, if you want to get full points (a 5.0) on Regulator, Removal and Recovery and the mask removal and replacement skill, then you need to demonstrate those neutrally buoyant. Demonstrating skills neutrally buoyant is growing in popularity. For this we reason we decided to show demonstrating most skills of this new PADI IDC Skills Circuit neutrally Buoyant.
Tips to get the most out of your new PADI IDC Skills Circuit or Divemaster Skill Circuit:
1. Do it Slowly, the slower you demonstrate the new IDC Skill, the easier it is to remember your next step and it also makes you look good.
2. Don't be a robot! Remember that no-one wants to watch or get's inspired from a static, boring Divemaster or Diving Instructor. Try to move fluidly.
3. Care about your scuba diving students. During your new PADI IDC Skills Circuit demonstration you should try and look people in the eye's, smile a bit and make people feel relaxed.
4. Use strong, but friendly scuba diving hand signals during your new PADI IDC Skills Circuit demonstrations. Maybe check out this Scuba Diving Hand Signals here:

To get a 5.0 full points on your PADI Skills Circuit on the New Revised PADI IDC Course you need to demonstrate the Divemaster and IDC Skills exercise performed correctly, slowly and with exaggerated movement. Just remember that your beginner scuba diving students don't have to do that. If you want to know how they have to do it, then check out our PADI Open Water Diver Skill Video.
