Once again, the staff and crew from TGI have achieved 100% success on the most recent Koh Tao PADI Instructor Exam. Well done guys!
The intensive 2 week IDC run every month by Darius and Mark, Thailand’s most successful Course Directors, has continued with its fantastic run of producing some of the best instructors in the dive industry. Our 7 candidates from 7 different nations, all with incredibly diverse training and diving backgrounds, all reached their goal of becoming PADI Instructors yesterday.

Two large men, 7 new PADI Instructors and Darius…
After more than a year working together, Darius and Mark have trained over 100 candidates and have seen each become a PADI Instructor on their first attempt at the Instructor Exam. That’s a record unmatched by any other training center on Koh Tao.
I’m not sure what their recipe is- perhaps it’s Darius’ Texas Barbecue Sauce which he brings out at the monthly Instructor and Divemaster barbecue! Whatever it is, keep up the good work and enjoy the MSDT internship training which begins today!
Barry Gibb, formerly of The Bee Gees, finishes his IDC!
After a right hook to the chin, PADI Examiner Rob agreed to make Marie an Instructor!
