PADI
IDC Thailand Diving Instructor Development Courses (IDC) and
Diving Internship on Phuket: Career Packages
Are
you dreaming hanging up your suit and tie, leaving the
office behind and reaching for your wetsuit, suntan lotion and
towel and looking for a life in the sun and sea ???
Are you leaving college eager
to leap into the excitement and adventure of the
underwater world and planning on diving your way
around the world ??
Or do you just fancy working in
an industry which allows you to meet people, go
places, and see things most people only ever dream
of .. ???
Many people work part time in
the dive industry not only do they have their "desk
job" but as a PADI instructor they can earn
extra money, teach their friends and family, and
of course meet people, go places and see things
most people only ever dream of . !!!
Whatever your reasons for choosing to become
a PADI Instructor you will find that it
not only allows you to find work almost anywhere
in the world.
.. but also that it is way of life . !!
We have put together the following Career Preparation Packages to
help you reach your goal in a comprehensive, professional manner
yet taking cost, experience and time into account.
Our Career Preparation Package consists of 3 phases:
Phase 1 - The Initial Preparation phase: takes
the Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver or Rescue Diver
through to the Divemaster level and allows for a certain amount
of personal choice and flexibility.
Phase II - The Intermediate Preparation Phase: takes
the Divemaster through to the basic Instructor Level.
Phase III - The Advanced Instructor Phase: takes the
Instructor through a series of Speciality Instructor Training Programs
preparing you for work in the "real world" by giving you
training in some of the most sought after PADI Instructor Qualifications.
To qualify you MUST complete ALL THREE PHASES !!!
Please read through the phases below and plan your future .. if
anything is unclear or you would like to know more about them please
