Teaching diving in Thailand: become a dive professional with a PADI 5 Star IDC dive center Scuba Birds. Change your career, become PADI Professional!

I remember my first day at Scuba Birds. I and my friends decided to do our PADI Open Water Diver course and successfully passed the certification. From that moment the only one my dream was to put on a scuba and go underwater every single day to enjoy the whole new world, full of beauty and new possibilities!
A few months later, I returned to the same dive center in Koh Tao to improve my level to PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, and the next month I was diving every day! Experienced mentors, seeing my love of scuba diving, recommended to complete my PADI Divemaster training. This course helped me to understand some nuances of diving from the perspective of a dive professional and after working six months as PADI Divemaster, I realized that I want to teach diving, that’s why I completed my PADI Instructor Developing Course and become PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. Now I’m living a happy life on the small beautiful island, every day helping others taking their first leap into the water!
