A big Thank you to Bruce who completed his IDC Gold Package with us this year.

Scuba Cat Diving Phuket Thailand IDC

“Sarah ensuresthe Dive Centre runs efficiently and has a very professional team. A true centre of excellence – please consider following their model. I’ve dived in Egypt with 2 CDC’s and they are not half as good as the Scuba Cat operation. We had our program mapped out from Day 1, the dive centre staff all made us welcome and most importantly as a TEAM they supported everyone of us on the course.

– the way the world learns to dive

SCUBACAT – the way should encourage all centres to work!”

Another big thank you to Geraldine Richard who completed her internship with us during 2010. She also completed all courses with Scuba Cat Diving from Divemaster to IDC Staff Instructor.

Scuba Cat Diving Phuket Thailand Instructor Internship

“Scuba Cat Diving Phuket provides the best facility to accommodate any candidate who is interested to go pro. All team members in the organisation demonstrated high professionalism and provided a strong support line. I had the most remarkable time and gained so much going pro and I find myself loving each minute of this career. Could not have happened without the strong and wonderful support of the folks who invested their time, personal time and energy.”

A big Thank you to Andrea who completed his internship with us during 2010. He completed all his courses with Scuba Cat Diving from Open Water to IDC Staff Instructor.

“It has been a superb journey from doing my OW in 2009 to my OWSI in 2010. I’ve worked with many international and corporate teams in my career but nothing comes close to what I have experienced at Scuba Cat Diving. A dedicated, trained and professional team. They are to share my every bit of success today. Scuba Cat Diving is obviously a good training ground for any future instructors. Congratulations on an excellent course. I look forward to my continued education in your program, heading to MSDT and there after IDC Staff.”

 

At Scuba Cat Diving we offer a unique IDC for you. The whole course in its entirety will be taught by Christophe Pace Platinum Course Director, we do not use Staff Instructors at all for our IDCs, you are paying for a quality Course for your future and we will give you just that. If in the event of an emergency Christophe is unable to attend a session, I will take over, Sarah Kench Course Director and Owner of Scuba Cat Diving.

 

IDC Staff

Scuba Cat Diving, Phuket, Thailand’s Resident   Course Director :

“I started scuba diving in Europe over 20 years ago since then, diving has become my favourite activity. Before working in the dive industry, I used to work as an International Observer for the United Nations in countries such as Mozambique, Cambodia and South Africa. My main task was to implement civil education program, to teach local people how to organize elections and implement Human Rights.”

Becoming an Instructor was the best combination of “Teaching and Diving”. My career as an Instructor took me to wonderful places: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Cayman Islands, Egypt, The Philippines, Sipadan, Indonesia, Vietnam and for the last 9 years in Thailand. The contacts I have made in all these years are very useful for my IDC candidates when they are looking for a Scuba Diving job.

Since 2000, I have concentrated on Instructor levels, in 2001 and 2002 I received ‘s prestigious: Outstanding Contribution for Instructor Development Award and in 2003 and 2 in 2008 certificates of Recognition for Excellence.

Now, I conduct the IDC in Phuket, Thailand with the Scuba Cat Diving Team and oversee Scuba Cat Diving’s innovative Scuba Diving Career Development Program and Internship programme.
