Back to my Roots.......PADI Staff Instructor!!

Back to my Roots.......PADI Staff Instructor!!
Many years ago i arrived on the beautiful island of Koh Tao and planned to complete my PADI Open Water Course through to DiveMaster. I was going to go down a route that many people nowadays are choosing to do.....a change in career & life. The training lived up to the high reputation that Crystal has and after 6 months of working as a Dive Master and seeing the Instructional program going on, i was left with only one choice..... to become a PADI Instructor. The course was conducted by Course Director Matt Bolton and the IDC program that he ran was above and beyond what me and the fellow candidates were expecting. The instruction & guidance throughout really made me into the instructor i am today.
Now, 6 years down the line & again as many Dive professionals choose to do, i wanted to further my journey with PADI and work towards Master Instructor. Upon returning back to Koh Tao i messaged Matt and we scheduled a meeting where we could sit down and really work out which direction i am heading and therefore what i would need to assist me along the way. With the great memories of my training before and after this meeting it was clear that Crystal, Matt & the team would be best for me to do what i intend to achieve.
So after the decision had been made and Matt's evaluation of our skills in the pool we were good to go to get ready for the IDC in November. It was nice to be back in the classroom and now moving into the realm of Instructing the soon to be Instructors of tomorrow. It was apparent that even with the years i had spent away the standard is still just as amazing as i remembered, with a new dive school layout, huge equipment room and incredible new massive pool that is used for all courses.
In my time away from the island i have worked on Yachts and seen a lot of the world and can honestly say you wont find a place like here...I will be Staffing the next 2 IDC's to gain my PADI Master Instructor rating and strongly encourage anyone intending to become a PADI professional of any level to look no further than right here......
