We try to provide our candidates with “the complete IDC package”: the kind of IDC package we would have loved to have had ourselves but which were not available 15 years ago when we ourselves started in the dive industry in Thailand.

To try and achieve this we built our own dive resort and this is where we place you for the duration of your IDC, EFRI and for the IE itself.

The resort boasts 12 “double bungalows” with 24 rooms complete with air-conditioning, fan, hot water, TV, telephone, safe and mini bar. Each bungalow also has its own large, private terrace close to the pool where you can relax at the end of the day.

Next to the reception area of the Resort is the restaurant and it is here that candidates are served their complementary breakfast and buffet style lunch during their IDC Prep, EFRI and IDC.

The restaurant offers a superb range of Thai food and has an excellent international western menu as well as great stock of different beers and of course tropical cocktails.

As it IS a dive resort don’t be surprised to see dive equipment drying on the terrace of your neighbour, or find yourself joining one of the regular weekly evening BBQs where the conversation is often about the great liveaboard trip they have just come from … or about to go on !

One thing you will probably notice is that the resort is quiet during the day but it shouldn’t take you too long to figure out that the reason for that is that your fellow guests are out on diving during the day

You will find that you can book a full range of activities and tours at the reception as well as rent motorbikes and cars.
