Our
5* IDC Facilities
Warm Water Divers operates two 5* PADI Dive Centers and
one 5* Instructor Development Center , all
located in Patong Beach , Phuket ,
Thailand.
All our Instructor Development takes place
in our NEW IDC dedicated training
Centre, opened in July
2006, with the water work taking place at our
5* Instructor Development Centre located in Patong
Beach.
The ground floor of our NEW training
centre houses our Technicians
Work Shop - very useful if something goes
wrong with your equipment during the IDC
/ IE - and also stores all our rental equipment
with a large secure area for washing, drying
and storing dive equipment.
The next two floors are dedicated to Instructor
Development.

The top floor is where our main IDC classroom
is located - this was purpose built for IDCs
with state of the art facilities.
The
main classroom here seats 14 students and staff
and is complete with carpet, wooden panelling, sound proofing, air conditioning,
white boards, video, projector screen, LCD projector, computer and offers full
multimedia support. Each table even has it's own power sockets to accommodate
the increasing number of IDC candidates using computers and digital accessories.
Our PADI library, complete with all digital
products, is also located here.
There is also an area here with an endless supply
of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cold water
complete with refrigerator and bathroom.
There is a staircase to the open roof area -
a large shaded recreational area with a view
over Patong and a haven for those that need that
cigarette (or 3) before the next presentation.
The middle floor contains another classroom
of the same standard as our main classroom and
is used for a variety of purposes: the IDC Prep
is run here whilst the IDC Staff Instructor Course
takes place upstairs and during the larger IDCs
we split into two groups at the end of the day
for the IDC candidates Classroom presentations
- the second group using this classroom.
We also use this classroom for the practical
sessions of the DAN Oxygen Provider, DAN Oxygen
Instructor Courses as well as skill development
of the Emergency First Response Instructor Course
as we have more floor space here.
We use a costume build 5 x 15 meter pool for our diver training. This is an
excellent pool for training - with a nice shallow end and gentle slope to
the deep end making it perfect for conducting the various skills with different
depth requirements during your IDC.
For the Open Water training of the IDC we use the local reef of Kata Beach
which is only a short drive from the training facility.
Conditions are calm for most of the year making
it ideal for IDC training.
We also use our local reefs for a variety of local
Specialty Instructor Training programs after the
IDC.

All in all we have some of the best
training facilities available in Asia -
perfect for your Instructor Development
