International Diving Institute

The International Diving Institute (IDI) is a private, for-profit technical school in North Charleston, South Carolina. Originally a fitness equipment shop called East Coast Dive Connection, the school was founded in 2004 when it offered advanced dive training, especially in the use of surface supplied air, underwater welding, rigging and hyperbaric chamber operation, leading to a certification required for commercial divers working on oil platforms in the offshore oil industry and for diving operations in the United States that are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
