One of the many points that separates Rainbow Reef IDC from the others is our on-site housing option..

You have a few options if you choose to stay on-site during your training, and we also have several economical off site options that we would be happy to help you arrange if you are so inclined. On-site is just an option at one of the resorts the dive centers are located on, but many of our Instructor Candidates take advantage of the off-site housing known as the "Scuba Apartments".

On-site Accommodations:

Our main Dive Store location has on-site accommodations while you are in your IDC. Below you will find a listing of your options and rates, both on-site and other off site facilities that are right up or down the street from where you will be training.

Private or Shared Accommodations:

Another option you need to consider is if you'd like to have private or shared accommodations. Most often students want to save money and elect the "Scuba Apartment" accommodations. This is a great option for saving money, especially if you are staying for extended stays. Please be sure to understand that it is set up to be much like a Hostel. What does that mean? It means there is no maid service, and you'll have to make your own bed! We have two apartments, each with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, central air, common areas, wireless Internet access, digital cable, and washer/dryer. We have no more than 2 people to a bedroom, but you share bathrooms and common areas with others who might also be staying there. They are both located at the main Dive Center (in fact, the classroom is right downstairs) Many of our IDC students and Internship participants elect to stay in the Apartments. It's a great way to make some new dive buddies, it's also INCLUDED FREE IN ANY IDC PACKAGE.

However, for those who are interested in private accommodations, we have a variety of both On-Resort and Off-Site hotels and efficiencies that will meet your needs.

Just a few steps and you are in the middle of our live resort environment!
Walk out your door and you will be steps away from the Dive Center, the Dive Boats and Training Pools..

Scuba Apartments #1 & #2 .
Our apartments are located on top of our Dive Center. If you don't have transportation, don't worry, all you'll need to do is walk downstairs to the class room or head over to the pools and boats that are just 1/2 mile up the road in the main Key Largo Marina.
