IDC Koh Tao - PADI Instructor Development Course
PADI Course Director: Matt Bolton

Continuation - PADI Go Pro...

Master Scuba Diver Trainer
Upon successful completion of your I.E why not enroll in Matt's Master Scuba Diver Trainer Preparation and Internship Program.

During the 3 day preparation course. Matt will teach you how to plan, conduct and market PADI Specialty Diver training courses in at least 5 area's.

The program includes Knowledge Development and a Standards review specific to the Specialty courses you have chosen to do.

Candidates are also required to present sections of the Academics in the classroom, participate in in-water workshops and special Open Water teaching presentations.

You can chose the specialties that you wish to teach. Once you've completed the Preparation phase you then need to achieve the minimum pre-requisite of 25 PADI diver certifications before you can apply to PADI for the prestigious Master Scuba Diver Trainer Rating.

The second phase is the internship. This allows you to work alongside our team of Master Instructors team teaching all levels of PADI diver courses. Initially, working under the direct supervision of one of our experienced instructors, you'll begin to build your teaching skills and confidence, giving advice and valuable tips.

Gradually you are given extra responsibility as Matt and the team take more of a back seat. During the final phase it will almost be like you are independently teaching courses and if the opportunity arises you may even be in a position to begin earning your first teaching commissions!


As Koh Tao's most qualified Instructor Trainer, Matt offer's the following PADI Specialty Intstructor courses:

Enriched Air Nitrox
Deep Diver
Search & Recovery
Navigation
Night
Underwater Videography
Underwater Photography
Digital Underwater Photography
Equipment Specialist
Diver Propulsion Vehicle
AWARE Fish ID
Multi Level
Underwater Naturalist
Wreck
Whaleshark Awareness Specialist
AWARE Sea Turtle Specialist


Increase your employment opportunities...

Furthermore, the Instructor Internship greatly increases your chances of employment. Instructors who have completed the MSDT Internship have found employment opportunities both on Koh Tao and elsewhere a lot easier.

Not only will you have practical experience of real-life teaching, rather than being an instructor who has simply completed the IE, but you will also have a minimum of 25 PADI certifications.

Watching senior instructors teaching is as invaluable as the IDC itself. Many of our instructors have over 1000 certifications and are happy to provide their insights into the most effective teaching methods. By team-teaching with several different instructors through the internship, you will see many different approaches to adapt to your own teaching style.

There is no time limit to the Internship - you can continue to team teach with other instructors as long as you wish.

Do you have any further questions about the MSDT Preparation course and Instructor Internship course?

Tash Meinertzhagen
MSDT

"I was extremely lucky to be able to do my MSDT at Crystal Dive in Koh Tao as not only did I gain a valuable insight into the real mechanics of teaching PADI courses but I was also able to develop my own style as an Instructor whilst team-teaching with all the other Instructors there.
THANK YOU CRYSTAL."
