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.

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.

PADI Divemaster – Aya Terauchi

I am a world traveler and I have a lifetime bucket list. Scuba diving is one of them. I got certified PADI Open Water Course in Hawaii in 2013, which I really enjoyed and was satisfied with the fact that "I did it, bucket list checked." I have not had a chance to go diving since then until my friend introduced Aussie Divers in 2015. I did fun dives at Koh Phi Phi and Racha Noi/Yai. I discovered diving in Phuket was amazing with colorful coral reefs and active marine life. I fell in love with scuba diving again! I went back to Hawaii to do PADI Advanced Open Water Course and came back to Phuket to do rescue and ERP with Aussie Diver [...]
