So why choose Moskito Diving to complete my IDC ?
Moskito Diving is the oldest established Padi 5 star IDC centre on the Island of Phi Phi in Thailand. Operating under the same ownership since 1987, Moskito Diving has a reputation for offering the most up to date Padi course and programs. Our large return customer base is proof of our services. Moskito is the only Padi 5 star IDC centre on the island that has a full time resident Padi Course Director. We offer monthly “relaxed” 10 day Padi IDC programs as well as EFRI, Padi Specialty Instructor courses and MSDT prep programs.
Why is your IDC so relaxed ?
After many years of teaching, it become quite apparent that candidates learn best when they are relaxed and free from stress. Our approach is simple, we teach at your pace not ours! We do not need to rush though anything, as with all Padi programs the IDC is performance based not time based………….so why rush. Logistics here on the island also work in our favor, no long days needed. As everything on Phi Phi Island is within walking distance, we save a lot of time not having to deal with motorbikes, cars etc, getting from classroom to confined to open water and back again. This time saved is used for more fun things, like diving and extra in water workshops to better prepare you in becoming a great Padi Instructor.
What experience does Moskito Diving’s Course Director have ?
Phil, our resident Course Director, started diving in 1981 and has been involved in Padi Instructor development since 2001. He worked as a permanent Padi Staff Instructor for several years before becoming a Padi Course Director in 2005. At the same time Phil become the first Padi/DSAT technical Instructor trainers in Southern Thailand. Phil still teacher’s at all levels from entry level diver though to Padi/DSAT Trimix Instructor. Phil is currently working his way up to Full Cave Instructor, when not teaching you can usually find Phil with his video camera in a cave somewhere.
What is included in Moskito Diving’s 10 day Padi IDC ?
During the 10 day IDC program, apart from the required IDC presentations, we review dive theory (evening sessions on subjects as required). We include in water workshops on search and recovery skills, navigation skills, ascent/descent setup and control, cesa’s confined/open water, skill setup and control and finish off with a rescue diver workshop. If we do have extra time available, we may even get a dive in! As part of the EFR Instructor course, which is required to gain your Padi Instructor rating, we also include for free the Padi Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor course. The reason we include this course, as part of a rescue course you need to show and have your students set up, use and disassemble a oxygen unit, it is also a optional skill in the EFR course, so why not offer your students another certification while they are completing the rescue course!
