The  crew from Thailand Gap Internships is just putting the final touches on  the December <a title=\"PADI-IDC-Instructor-Training-Thailand\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/scuba-diving-internships\/dive-instructor-internship.html\">PADI Instructor Course<\/a>.  Again diversity is the key for this group with candidates coming from  as far afield as Egypt, Canada, Austria and Sweden for training by our  great staff from the US, Australia, Singapore and Jordan. It always adds  a lot of interest and allows for interesting conversations to have such  varying backgrounds in the group and it really showcases the fact that  scuba diving is truly a unifying activity in the world!<\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/2dec.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"gap-muaythai-video-program-thailand\" \/><br \/>\nDecember IDC- Scott, Sharon,  Darius, Thomas, Shane, Sabina, Mo, Ewald&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It seems that the  Gulf of Thailand escaped what can oftentimes be a brutal monsoon season.  The weather is not just outstanding for this time of the year, but for  anytime! We&#8217;ve seen nothing but sun for the most part of the last few  weeks. Now, we look forward to 2010 and expect some great diving  conditions and (fingers-crossed!) another successful season.<\/p>\n<p>The  new course that our video team has created, the <strong>BSAC Pro HD  Underwater Video course<\/strong>,\u00a0 has proven to be hugely popular as it is  the only one of its kind in the industry. Professional Divemasters,  Instructors and even non-divers with a keen interest in film-making are  lining up to participate in this exciting new field. Currently, the team  has 3 trainees (Alvin, Simon and sadly, not Theodore, rather Rudey)  with a fourth coming next week. Each will finish the\u00a0 2 week course  followed by a 1 month paid internship while gaining further experience.<\/p>\n<p>Last  night the full TGI crew including the IDC, Video and Freediving teams  went to the <a title=\"MUAYTHAI-BOXING-TRAINING-THAILAND-INTERNSHIP\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/gap-year-thailand\/muay-thai-boxing-training.html\">Monsoon Gym Muay  Thai<\/a> Event on Sairee beach to show support for TGI Muay Intern,  Abdi. He put up a great fight and lost a narrow 3-round decision to a  much more experienced fighter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/1dec.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"mma-muaythai-INTERNSHIP-TAO\" \/><br \/>\nAbdi keeping his chin up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This time  next week, we&#8217;ll be finishing up the PADI Instructor Exam and preparing  for another big celebration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final IDC of the year is now nearing completion on Koh Tao.
