We
try to provide our candidates with “the complete IDC
package”: the kind of IDC package we would have loved
to have had ourselves but which were not available 15 years
ago when we ourselves started in the dive industry in Thailand.
To try and achieve this
we built our own dive resort and this is where we place
you for the duration of your IDC, EFRI and for the IE itself.
The resort boasts 12 “double
bungalows” with 24 rooms complete with air-conditioning,
fan, hot water, TV, telephone, safe and mini bar. Each bungalow
also has its own large, private terrace close to the pool
where you can relax at the end of the day.
Next to the reception
area of the Resort is the restaurant and it is here that
candidates are served their complementary breakfast and buffet
style lunch during their IDC Prep, EFRI and IDC.
The restaurant offers
a superb range of Thai food and has an excellent international
western menu as well as great stock of different beers and
of course tropical cocktails.
As it IS a dive resort
don’t be surprised to see dive equipment drying on
the terrace of your neighbour, or find yourself joining one
of the regular weekly evening BBQs where the conversation
is often about the great liveaboard trip they have just come
from … or about to go on !
One thing you will probably
notice is that the resort is quiet during the day but it
shouldn’t take you too long to figure out that the
reason for that is that your fellow guests are out on diving
during the day
You will find that you
can book a full range of activities and tours at the reception
as well as rent motorbikes and cars. |
