PADI IDC Thailand
PADI IDC Thailand, have you ever wanted to make scuba diving your career?
Why make scuba diving your hobby when you can make it your profession.
Imagine a job where you actually look forward to heading off to work in the morning!
Becoming a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor enriches your life. You are guaranteed personal satisfaction as
you help other people achieve something that they thought was out of their reach and had
only dreamt of.
The PADI IDC (Instructor Development Course) is a ten day to two week program combining
a mixture of training in the pool and classroom academic modules presented by yourself,
the PADI IDC Course Director and your fellow candidates.
- The PADI IDC is split into two sections:
- Assistant Instructor
- Open Water Scuba Instructor
You can take both courses, Assistant Instructor (AI) and Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) at the same time combining the PADI IDC together. This is quite normal, however if you are short on time, you can take the course in two parts starting with the AI.
Once you have successfully completed the AI and OWSI you will need to participate in an Instructor Examination (IE)
course for approximately 2 days before becoming an Open Water Scuba Instructor.
We can teach in a multitude of languages and only supply you with up to date, training, equipment and materials.
Our certified PADI IDC Course Directors are located in Phuket, Koh Tao and Pattaya.
PADI IDC's start near enough every month. Please check your specified location.
Our intention is not only to ensure that divers in training have a fun time and meet all criteria to succeed
on their courses, but also that they experience safe diving and the best dive sites that our PADI IDC's in Thailand have to offer.
