IDC Koh Tao | Divemaster & Instructor

I did the Divemaster program with Black Turtle Dive in October. Doing my Divemaster course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, the experience was the perfect balance between learning and having fun, which made the entire process both motivating and really rewarding. I did my course with Mena and Ben. They are both amazing instructors — they taught me so much, always took the time to explain things properly, and created an environment where I could push myself to improve. During the course, I developed quickly and became a much more confident and capable diver. The training was thorough, supportive, and challenging in the best way, and I finished the course feeling prepared and excited to take the next step in diving. I’m really grateful for everything I learned, and I have not regretted it for a second!

I recently did my IDC here and couldn't be happier with my experience. Their training standards are extremely high and the course was well structured and thought out. Our course director, Beard, was knowledgeable, fun and a fantastic mentor. He was very astute when it came to identifying the needs of individual students and was able to tailor the course to our needs, ensuring everybody got the most out of the experience. I would highly recommend IDC Koh Tao to anyone who is interested in doing their IDC or MSDT.

Doing my IDC with Black Turtle I learned so much and grown as a diver. Our course directors were amazing, super professional, always available to help or solve any questions we had, which made a huge difference. I especially liked how they organised the course, as in just a few weeks we had plenty of opportunities to receive feedbacks and improve our skills/presentations before the IE. A big thanks to Lucas, Beard, Graeme and Matt for all your hard work and support.
