Teaching people how to dive is a rewarding experience. During the Instructor Development Course (IDC) you learn how to keep students out of the classroom as much as possible and in the water, where your students become enthusiastic and active divers. The IDC develops efficient and effective teaching techniques to give your studentseffective and fun instruction, and you a fulfilling career. As the most progressive dive center on Koh Tao, we introduce you to the latest teaching techniques and technologies in our dedicated IDC facility.

After the IDC there is an examination (the IE) conducted by PADI. Our IDCs at Buddha View aim not only at giving you the necessary knowledge to easily succeed at the IE but develop a competent and confident instructor, ready for a rewarding career in the dive industry. We discuss not only teaching techniques, enlivened by real life experience, but marketing and business strategies, complimented by our instructor level continuing education programs.

Included in the IDC packages free of charge:

* Free rebreather trial
* Marine Resource Management Specialty
* Package discounts

* Lunches during IDC
* Great savings on equipment packages
* IE guarantee

The strength of our IDC above others lies in the schedule. The schedule is relaxed and enjoyable. Great buffet lunches are included in the course fee and discounted accommodation, is also available during the IDC. All this helps create a stress free environment, conducive to learning to become an instructor. By conducting the IDC over ten days, rather than the standard seven day IDC, we can ensure the scheduled days are complete by 5.00-6.00pm. That allows you time to assimilate the information rather than cramming into the wee hours of the morning. It allows us extra time to spend with you improving knowledge and skills necessary for the instructor exam and real world teaching. It also allows us the opportunity to incorporate into the IDC extra presentations that ensure you complete the exam relaxed and confidently. You can even begin your IDC now with Mark Sawanka's unique IDC on-line.

An IDC with Mark Soworka will include extra remedial theory sessions to strengthen your knowledge of physics, physiology etc to a level where you not only confidently pass the instructor exams but also feel confident teaching this knowledge to your divemaster trainees in the future. You will also complete a Mock IE, a practice exam, with us in which you complete all of the components of the real IE over the last couple of days of the IDC. This ensures you arrived confident and able for the PADI IE. These extras, combined with any package deal including the IDC prep course, are the foundation for the Buddha View Guaranteed PASS on the PADI IE. We would pay for a second IE and offer free a second IDC to any of our candidates unsuccessful on the PADI IE. We are confident in your abilities after an IDC with us.


But an IDC should not just be about an exam. Rather than just confining you to a classroom for ten days we make the IDC far more practical including sessions with real students, such as when, as part of the Teaching children component of the IDC, we conduct a Bubblemaker programme with children from the local school. A chance to promote the dive industry on Koh Tao to the next generation and a chance for us, and the kids, to have some fun. We also include, free of charge, a Marine Resource Management Specialty Instructor course. As dive professionals you are in an unique position to influence and promote the protection of coral reefs and other underwater ecosystems throughout the world. This specialty gives you important information that you can pass on to your students in the future. WE also include a free rebreather trial fro our IDC candidates.




Our IDCs are conducted in English, French, Dutch and Japanese with Mark also evaluates in German. Staff instructors are available to help you with translations into almost any language. More importantly Mark will spend the time with you during your IDC and has a genuine concern for your success as an instructor in the future, which will make your IDC both a rewarding and enjoyable experience. .
