Your journey begins in Koh Lipe with a welcome dinner, fun dives, and IDC preparation. You will revise dive theory, complete skills circuits, stamina assessments, and rescue workshops. The Instructor Development Course then begins, covering classroom sessions, teaching presentations, and confined and open water training. You will also complete your Emergency First Response Instructor course. In week three, you will sit the two-day PADI Instructor Examination and celebrate your success as a qualified PADI Instructor.

WEEKS FOUR TO SIX: KOH TAO

You will then transfer to Koh Tao to begin your Master Scuba Diver Trainer preparation. This includes five specialty instructor ratings, team teaching with real students, and an introduction to technical diving. You will also take part in workshops on dive centre operations, compressor and equipment maintenance, customer service, and employment in the dive industry. The internship concludes with team teaching and a farewell party.
