Koh Tao PADI IDC & IE Prices & Packages @ Simple Life Divers
Here’s a breakdown of the costs involved in taking your PADI instructor training here on Koh Tao, Thailand. There are three expenses involved training to PADI Instructor – courses, fees and materials:
Koh Tao IDC Training:
PADI Instructor Development Course, including Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI) and lunches [18 days]: 40,000 baht
PADI Instructor Fees:
There are a number of application and examination fees which must be paid direct to PADI (e.g. PADI IE Fee, PADI OWSI application fee, EFRI application fee).
All-in these currently amount to 1011 Australian Dollars, which is about 30,000 baht depending on exchange rates
PADI IDC Materials:
For your own set of PADI Instructor Manuals & Materials you can purchase our IDC Crew pack for 18,000 baht.
Specifically that will include:
- PADI Guide to Teaching
- Exam Booklets [Open Water, Rescue Diver, Divemaster]
- PADI’s The Law of Diving Book
- Teaching & Lesson Preparation Slates [Confined and Open Water teaching slates and cue cards,
- Advanced Cue Cards, Rescue Diver Cue Cards, Divemaster and Discover Scuba Cue Cards]
- Specialty Courses DVD
- Hologram Decal
- Instructor Candidate Information
In addition you’ll also need a copy of the PADI Instructor Manual (either paper or digital is fine). As of 2010, the Instructor Manual is included in the PADI Divemaster crew pack, so many candidates will already have their own copy of the Instructor Manual. If you don’t (i.e. you took your DM course prior to 2010), you can purchase a copy for 4,000 baht.
Summary:
Putting all that together, all-in to train to PADI Open Water Scuba Diving Instructor + Emergency First Response Instructor, you’re looking at a grand total of about 88,000 baht all-in.
