Q: What are the high and low season dates?

  • LOW SEASON :: May 1st – Oct 31st
  • HIGH SEASON :: Nov 1st – April 31st

Q: Where is the best place to stay when doing my IDC?

A: The best place to stay for your IDC is close to where you will be doing the bulk of your work! In this case that is Chalong, Pier Road, where our Chalong office is located. This is where you will do all your classroom work and where you will store equipment. This is also where our driver leaves from for beach diving and pool training activities.

If you are planning on staying elsewhere you most likely need to organize your own transport to and from the classroom each day and possibly to other facilities depending on the availability of our driver.
