Dive Instructor Course Koh Tao
Davy Jones Locker is a 5 star PADI IDC Resort and our Platinum rated Course Director Peter Nieuwhof puts in additional work beyond the basics required of the IDC course to ensure that all of hs candidates have the best possible chance to pass their Instructor course.
This starts even before you arrive on Koh Tao as with recent changes to the PADI Divemaster course there is a knowledge gap which has become evident between the Divemaster and Instructor course and so before you arrive we will send you out some additional materials to help bridge this gap.
If you are also taking your Divemaster course with us though you don't need to worry about this as we teach a more expansive Divemaster course than is required to meet the basic requirements to achieve the Divemaster qualification. Then another additional service that Peter provides is a 3 day IDC Prep course where Peter will run through various skill and knowledge assessments so that he can determine which areas to focus on for each student during their Instructor course. This of course means that you get a more personalised service for your IDC and as a result more value for money.
Here on Koh Tao we run the Dive Instructor course every month contact us for details of the course dates or check the our IDC schedule here.
The IE dates are issued each year by P
ADI once they determine the schedule for their examiners as they moderate the Instructor Exams all throughout the Asia Pacific region, so Australia, Philippines, Indonesia etc as well as here in Thailand. This is done to ensure that standards are maintained for all PADI Dive Instructor courses.
At DJL we offer a number of different IDC Packages which you can see in the main Instructor Development Course (IDC) section here.

problems. You'll also learn how to control your buoyancy, navigate and communicate at night. Since many of

life.
The Davy Jones Locker Specialities allow divers to fully enhance their diving skills and knowledge within specific areas of the sport. If you've always enjoyed photography then we can teach you the finer points of using an underwater strobe and how to overcome the difficulties associated; if you fancy going deep then we'll teach you how to safely dive deeper.

By diving with
enriched air rather than standard air (21% oxygen) you can extend your no decompression limits. This means
more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 30 metres/100 feet on air, your no decompression limit is
20 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 (36% oxygen) gets you 35 minutes of no decompression time - what almost
doubles your no decompression limit!The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty certification emphasizes the theoretical and operational considerations involved with enriched air diving, how to get an enriched air fill and how to correctly analyse it.

interaction techniques.During your course you'll learn underwater naturalist dive planning, organisation, procedures, techniques and potential problems. You'll also get an overview of the major aquatic life groupings, interactions and factual information that dispels negative myths.

fine-tune your buoyancy and soar over reefs, extend bottom time by reducing air consumption and prolong the
life of your dive equipment, the Peak Performance Buoyancy[PPB] Specialty course is for you.During your PPB course, you'll use PADI's Basic Weighting Guidelines to determine the correct amount of weight. You'll then practice the fundamentals of peak performance buoyancy, including the buoyancy check, fine-tuning buoyancy underwater, weight positioning, streamlining and visualisation.
