Five reasons why you should do your PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) with Ann in Thailand :
• Personalised training
• World Class Diving
• Logistics Sorted
• Great Value
• Strong Eco Focus
1. Personalised Training
Here at G2S, Ann and the team emphasise small group size, personalised attention, and adapting to the individual’s pace and needs.
For you, this means you’ll get a better, tailored teaching experience - more mentor time, and more direct feedback than larger, over-crowded instructor courses.
Her teaching style is thorough yet approachable and fun.
2. World-class Diving
G2S is a PADI 5* Instructor Development Centre and is located in Khao Lak, on Thailand’s west coast. The location offers access to top dive sites like the Similan Islands and world famous Richelieu Rock, known for clear water, rich marine life and amazing diving.
Crucially, all the new instructors joining our IDC get work in the local area in our live-aboard season.
From your perspective: you get not just the certification but a jump-start into the professional dive world in an exotic region.
3. Logistics Sorted
Many of our candidates value avoiding the hassle of logistics, and G2S offers a Ready to Work package and logistics help.
What’s included? Shared accommodation, lunches on all training days, access to a unique online learning hub, specialty instructor courses, the opportunity to learn the dive sites and the local dive boats, and an introduction to local employers who are looking for staff. We help arrange airport transfers and use our local knowledge to smooth your arrival.
This means less stress: transfers, accommodation, training materials—all the logistics are taken care of. You can focus purely on the training and experience.
4. Great Value
Doing your IDC in Thailand often works out much more affordable than in Europe, Australia or America, when you factor in cost of living, accommodation, dive site fees, and even post-course work opportunities.
Because you’re in Thailand, you combine a professional qualification with a fantastic travel/dive destination. You could convert a holiday or gap year into a career step.
The short Khao Lak season (just 7-months) means there’s a high demand for instructors and an opportunity to move into work straight after the IDC.
5. Strong Eco Focus
Ann emphasises not just on passing the exam, but on becoming a competent, confident instructor. She includes extra training on coral basics and a “Human Factors in Diving” seminar (why accidents happen, how you lead safely).
G2S works closely with Andaman Turtle Watch and actively encourage all their new instructors to get involved in identifying local turtles.
We are committed to high quality teaching, personal service and environmental awareness.
For you this means you’ll graduate with not just a qualification, but a strong basis of teaching competence and safety awareness, both of which are important if you wish to work internationally.
