Do you have a passion for SCUBA diving? Do you think you would like to pass on that passion for SCUBA to others? Can you imagine being the person responsible for changing somebody else’s life forever? You remember how it felt when you fell in love with the underwater world? How good it felt to become part of the SCUBA diving community? A special group of people who shared your passion.
Here is your chance, come to Crystal Dive on Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. We are a PADI Five Star Career Development Centre (CDC). We specialize in taking you from your Divemaster training (the first professional level in the PADI system) onward to the Instructor Development Course where you will gain the SCUBA skills to effectively teach people to SCUBA dive. We have great facilities, a beachfront location and 3 PADI Platinum rated Course Directors on staff. We also have Coral Tribe in-house, who are actively preserving and restoring coral reefs in the area, encouraging all Crystal Dive divers to participate in eco-friendly diving practices.
Koh Tao is a prime location for SCUBA training, it has a year-round dive season and predominantly calm conditions. This makes Koh Tao an ideal place to learn to SCUBA dive and, for the very same reasons, an ideal place to take the plunge into SCUBA instruction. The perfect location to turn your passion into a livelihood.
To become a PADI Instructor you would need 100 dives as a minimum and you would need to be a PADI Divemaster (or equivalent). You would then enroll in the IDC, a 2-week program that takes what you have gained as a Divemaster and refines those skills to enable you to safely teach SCUBA diving. During the coursed there is a great deal of hands-on SCUBA training, helping you to gain the confidence to teach others to SCUBA dive in the safest and most effective way possible. This course has a great deal of flexibility to adapt to your style and needs.
At the culmination of the IDC there is the PADI Instructor Examination, a 2 day event during which the examiners from PADI visit Koh Tao to evaluate your abilities and, when you pass, certify you as a PADI SCUBA diving instructor. Here at Crystal Dive, we will teach you to teach SCUBA effectively and safely, the exam is not our focus, it is just a step on the way to your new career.
Just imagine, doing what you love for a living! Get away from the office, the grind! Commuting to work is a walk down the beach. Send me a mail bob@crystaldive.com and I will answer any questions.
