A fantastic team for a PADI IDC

I did my PADI Divemaster course with Ashley Walker in Queensland in 2013. Ash mentioned he was having a great time working in Thailand with Aussie Divers.

Ash convinced me to head to Phuket and to do my PADI Instructor Development Course with Aussie Divers Phuket.

Darren and the team really made the course a couple of weeks to remember.

Ash recommended that I do PADI IDC online and I am glad that I did. It freed me up to work on other parts of the course and even let me have a days break in the second week which I really needed.

The support I got through the IDC not only from Darren and Ash but from the whole team was unbelievable. From the moment I arrived in Phuket the whole team from the cleaner (Joy) to Darren the Course Director made me feel like I was a part of their team and not just a customer.

Many thanks to Hua and Nan (office staff), Big (Divemaster), Mike, Nina, Emily, Martin and Andre as well as the staff at Happy Days for a fantastic two weeks.

I highly recommend doing you PADI IDC with Aussie Divers Phuket.

Living The Dream After Instructor Graduation

Finding work after becoming a Scuba Diving Instructor can sometimes be a daunting task, you are competing against people with much more experience who have been working in the industry longer. The best thing about doing your Instructor Course in Phuket is that there is almost always work for new instructors and Aussie Divers will help you to get it. We have awesome and varied post graduation programs, ranging from 'Ride Alongs' with our elite instructors to instructor internships where experience & responsibility can be had in real world environments with real customers, getting you the qualifications & certifications you need to be attractive to employers.

The absolute best way to ensure employability after you graduate to a fully fledged (OWSI) Open Water Scuba Diving Instructor is to continue your training with PADI, especially when it comes to the PADI instructor specialties we teach here at Aussie Divers. Once you have five Instructor specialties under your belt you will become an M.S.D.T or Master Scuba Diver Trainer, which looks much better on your diving resume'. Specialties include being able to teach the PADI Deep Diver (40m), Enriched Air Nitrox, PADI Wreck Diver, Sidemount Diver, Digital Underwater Photographer courses, plus many many more!
