Camille’s emphasis is on personalized training. He works generally with small groups and conducts all parts of the IDC training himself and is available at all times during the complete IDC which allows for lots of personal and individual attention.

My programs provide the quality and expertise you should expect and demand during your Instructor Training. My Instructor Development Course programs will provide valuable hands-on training with the emphasis on fun and in-water application. The cutting edge knowledge gained will expand your Career Opportunities.

Our aim is to make sure that you successfully pass the PADI IE and receive that extra bit of information and knowledge to become a highly trained Open Water Scuba Instructor after the IE. You will be having fun working in a safe and reliable way on a tropical island.

You can start your scuba career at any level, as an absolute beginner at PADI Open Water diver level or at PADI Advanced Open Water diver-, PADI Rescue diver- or PADI Divemaster level. It's also possible to crossover from another Recreational dive organisation into the PADI system with a crossover program.

We run our Samui program at the luxurious and tranquil Kandaburi Resort on Chaweng beach, the facilities include fully air conditioned classrooms; computer based training aids, onsite pool, beach side restaurant and internet services are also widely available.

Our IDC consists of two parts the Assistant Instructor Course (AI), the Open Water Scuba Instructor program (OWSI) and the Emergency First Responder Instructor course (EFRI). We conduct the IDC over 10 days including the EFR Instructor course, in a relaxed resort setting, with the days starting around 8.30am and ending around 5.00 pm. During the program our staff will be on hand to offer you all the support that you need allowing you to relax, making the learning experience easier and certainly more fun.

Successfully completing the IDC program qualifies you to attend the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). The PADI IE is an evaluative program that tests your teaching ability, dive knowledge, skill level, and understanding of the PADI system.

The IDC includes; 10 days lunches, tanks, weights and boat fees during the IDC and IE.

For your arrival on Samui, we are pleased to provide complimentary transfer to your resort and provide information on the local area.
