This new page contains some of the events and news from Indepth Instruction, if you have photos and news from your course please email us and we will include it.
Two weeks hard work has turned Divemasters Sandra Brown, Richard Hutson, Diana Henderson and Ken Henderson into Indepth Instruction's newest PADI instructors and the last ones of 2008, they completed their IE at Kata Palm Garden hotel and Kata beach, well done to you all.
There are 12 IDCs per year and as the last one of the year is just about to draw to a close (as I write, the 2008 December IE is beginning tomorrow) we are getting a lot of interest for the IDC courses in 2009 with the first one beginning January 5th. If you are considering doing your IDC, IDCS or MSDT prep course with us in 2009 we suggest booking early as we don't want to disappoint anybody.
We are finding more and more potential instructors are opting for the MSDT prep program as they feel that gives them the best education and sets them up ready to start taking their own students for courses. MSDT prep course dates for 2009 are here and the course always runs after your IDC and IE, but don't worry, you get a day off to relax in between !
We are also seeing considerable interest for our old IDC candidates that come back 1 or 2 years after their original IDC to take their IDC Staff Course.
Good luck to all those Divemasters that have their IDC booked in for 2009.
Happy Christmas and Happy Diving from James, Chris, Taew and Duke at Indepth Instruction, Phuket's number 1 PADI IDC centre.
Looking forward to another day in paradise learning all the skills that will help them become great PADI instructors

2008 November
November's IDC starts of well and as you can see from the picture Chris continues to give his PADI instructor students every luxury including tea breaks in the pool !
This IDC is particularly interesting as Chris is teaching Nick Bray who is a pretty special student as he has no hearing. Good luck IDC class November 2008.
