www.facebook.com/GoProSaireeCottage WELCOME TO THE INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE!!!

MEET YOUR COURSE DIRECTOR:

Marcel van den Berg Platinum PADI Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #492721

"Let me introduce myself; my name is Marcel van den Berg. I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving.

I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day. Now I’m able to teach the success I had to new Instructors and I look forward to share my passion and success in Diving with you! Come and join us for your training at Sairee Cottage Diving and let me teach you an award winning program that far exceeds the minimum standards of the dive industry”

8 Sairee Cottage Program:

After completing the IDC, you can continue your dive education with the MSDT. Sairee Cottage Diving offers one of the best MSDT Programs out there.

To achieve the full MSDT rating, you need to get 5 PADI specialty ratings and certify 25 students for any PADI course. You can get these 25 certifications by teaching independently after the MSDT course anywhere in the world, or you can join our Internship Program and achieve the 25 certifications very quickly (around 2 weeks). The full internship program can take 6 weeks if you want it to, which means that you will receive way more certifications on your CV increasing your chance of work significantly! Once you have achieved the 25 certifications you can then apply directly to PADI for the MSDT rating. In the mean time you are already allowed to teach the specialties.

The Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating is highly recommended as it will increase your chances of employment, and you have more options to teach different PADI courses which will only increase your salary.

To qualify for the MSDT Program, you'll need to:

• Be a certified PADI OWSI Instructor or have completed the PADI Instructor Exam (IE)

The Master Scuba Diver Trainer Program (MSDT) takes 6 days (without the 25 diver certifications). You need a minimum of 5 specialties, but we will teach you 10 for the same price as 5.

These will be the specialties you will be able to teach:

• Enriched Air Instructor • Oxygen Provider Instructor • Instructor • Digital Underwater Photography Instructor • Search and Recovery Instructor • Night Dive Instructor • Navigation Instructor • Wreck Instructor • Project AWARE Shark Conservation Instructor • Project AWARE Marine Debris Instructor

Internship:

During the Internship you not only receive certifications for your CV but you will team teach any PADI course with senior instructors that have years of experience and have taught thousands of students. This will give you experience really quickly as you not only learn from them, but also how to deal with groups of all sizes. Many say the Internship is the best course they have ever done, and it’s not even an official course.

At Sairee Cottage Diving we allow our students free use of our dive equipment during your PADI Divemaster Internship course. Except for a Dive Knife and a SMB (which you can buy here, if needed). However it will always be more comfortable, convenient and look more professional if you have your own equipment; and if you want to work in the dive industry, staff have to have their own kit as a rule in nearly all dive companies.

We have created 2 fantastic, very reasonably priced, packages to suit all budgets: The Silver Dive Equipment Package and the Gold Dive Equipment Package!

1. The Silver Equipment Package cost: 45785 THB

2. The Gold Equipment Package cost: 63567 THB
