WORLD’s best Dive & IDC center Aussie Divers Phuket

After looking for the right place to do my PADI Instructor Development Course & Instructor Exam’s (PADI IDC/IE) I was referred to the awesome & WORLD’s Best dive IDC Centre, Aussie Divers Phuket, by the PADI Platinum Course Director Christophe Pace.

The boss… MASTER PADI Course-Director Darren Gaspari and his team personally made my stay and the IDC course ended up being very enjoy and unforgettable. The training, practice and theory I received, wasn`t just made or designed to pass the PADI Instructor Exam weekend, it also personally gave me way more than needed and I am thankful for it.

During the whole IDC, the whole Aussie Divers team (Course Director, Staff Instructor’s, MSDT’s and OWSI’s) showed excellent mastery of skill demonstration and knowledge about diving & equipment which exceeded my expectations by far.

All in all I came as a guest and left with new made friends and my PADI Instructor certification in the bag. This Dive Center “Aussie Divers Phuket” and the Team deserves the title PADI 5 Star IDC centre. If I could rate for 10 Stars, definitely I would.

Biggest shout out goes to Darren, couldn’t have asked for more support or help. THANK YOU!

If you looking for the ultimate center and course you definitely in the right place here!

See you soon again for some other IDCs, to finish off my Staff Instructor.

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!

From Driver to PADI Instructor

Just a couple of short years ago Smith “Big” Buranastidporn applied for a job at Aussie Divers Phuket as a driver. Recognizing Big’s talent beyond a driver staff gave the drivers job to someone else and a job to Big as…. well… we weren’t really sure. What we did know at the time that Big was an excellent graphic artist. He designed the Aussie Divers Phuket logo that we use today. As Aussie Divers Phuket do with all their staff that wish to, we gave Big the opportunity to learn to scuba dive. Big turned out to be a natural under the water. Big started to work his way through the scuba diving ranks. Doing hi [...]
