[GUY CORSELLIS : COURSE DIRECTOR]
Guy Corsellis is the Manager of Asia Divers and a Course Director. He has participated in many Instructor programs over the last 9 years, and successfully taught scuba diving instructors who today are passing on their knowledge to students all around the world.
Originally from Belgium, Guy has now lived on Koh Tao for over 14 years and has an excellent understanding of the local scuba diving industry - and just as importantly, the local people, instructors and culture! , with the responsibilities of a wife and kid, Guy has moved further into the business side of the diving industry, concerned with e-mails, orders, educational materials and staff management . Guy still gets a thrill out of teaching entry level divers, but as his needs have changed he's been able to grow within the dive industry.
The dive industry is diverse and professional scuba diving instructorswho work in the industry have many different objectives. Guy's capability to adapt and teach on an individual basis depending on your personal objectives has shown a high success rate . Guy conducts Instructor courses in French, German, Dutch and English.

[PRIOR TO YOUR IDC]
As with most PADI programs, the IDC incorporates the home study philosophy. Independent study enhances schedule flexibility and allows you to arrive better prepared for the IDC.
Having prepared your IDC before getting herewill allow you to enjoy the island lifestyle a little more, as well as it will make you a more knowledgeable and marketable instructor. Simply order your Instructor Candidate Workbook, and answer all the Knowledge Reviews in the Independent Learning Section. Doing so will make your IDC schedule much more relaxed. While being at home , try to get hold of the Diving Knowledge Workbook. Using this manual is a great tool to refresh your Divemaster Diving Knowledge.
This section below will allow you to download all the necessary paperwork required for your IDC.
[IDC DURATION]
The IDC could be completed in as little as seven days. This would make the schedule really tight , and give us very long days. We prefer to schedule it over nine days.
The IDC program consists of two parts , the Assistant Instructor course ( part 1, four days ) followed by the Open Water Scuba Instructor course ( part 2, 5 days ).
Prior to the start of each IDC program we run Prep courses to brush up on Divemaster theory, skill demonstration quality, and we also give you an introduction on how to organize Pool or Classroom sessions.
During these 12 days we have time to work together to ensure that you are well prepared to pass the PADI IE , which helps Guy Corsellis and his team to maintain a very high success rate.
