Buddha
View IDC Resort is one of the most successful instructor training
centers in South East Asia. With the only dedicated Instructor
training facilities on Koh Tao and 4 full time Course
Directors Buddha View Dive is one of the best choices for your professional
training. The dive industry is a great career. Whether you are a computer
programmer stuck behind a desk, glued to a screen, or a mechanic tired
of scrubbing the grease off your hands each night, or simply just lost
for direction in life, diving offers a great career and loads of opportunity.
It is your chance to live in the tropics. Our Divemaster
and instructor programmes are aimed at
starting you off on a sucessful career in the dive industry, with job
placement throughout Thailand, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa. Koh
Tao certifies more than half of all certifications in Thailand. This
is the place to start off your diving career.
The
first step is the Divemaster course, training
as a dive guide. Buddha View offers unique divemaster programmes with
traineeships gaining experience in all facets of the dive industry and
scheduled theory, positioning and problem solving workshops with Course
Director Mark Soworka. Then on to Assistant Instructor and IDC (Instructor
Development Course) to qualify as a dive instructor. Buddha View
has maintained the highest success rates on Koh Tao IDCs for close to
a decade. We were the first to introduce post-IDC MSDT
Internships on Koh Tao creating experienced,
employable instructors. We do know that our best advertising is you
going out and getting a good job in the dive industry, so we have a
strong committment to job placement.
All dive professional training includes seminars on Marine
Resource Management and Reef Ecology. As dive professionals it is
important that you have a good understanding of how the reef works and
what practices you can encourage to maintain healthy reefs. We also
work closely with C-PAD, a non-profit environmental organisation based
in the U.S. and Thailand, offering training to university groups and
dive professionals in environmental reserach of the reefs around
Koh tao. Buddha View IDC Resort is the only
dive resort incorporating this training into our dive professional courses.
