WELCOME TO THE INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE!!! MEET YOUR COURSE DIRECTORS Guillaume Fargues PADI Platinum Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #482749 My name is Guillaume Fargues and I took my first dive nearly 20 years ago in the cold waters of Northern France. Before I became a dive professional, I was working as a management consultant in Paris. At one point I realised that I was spending more time staring at my tropical fish screensaver, than preparing PowerPoint presentations, so I decided to pack my diving gear and a pair of board shorts and head to Thailand. For over 8 years now I ve been working on Koh Tao as a PADI Dive Instructor and trained many students from Open Water to Divemaster. For the last 3 years, I ve been working as a full-time PADI Course Director at Ban s Diving Resort teaching IDC s in multiple languages. I also represent Ban s in Save Koh Tao, our local environmental association. My commitment is that we will give you 110% to make sure you succeed in your IDC and can enjoy a fantastic career in the Dive Industry. Marcel van den Berg - PADI Platinum Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #492721 Let me introduce myself. My Name is Marcel van den Berg. I m originally from the Netherlands and now living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003 I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on I actively pursued my career in diving, ending up working as a Dive Instructor at the number one certifying Dive Centre in the world; Ban s Diving Resort. It didn t take long with Ban s to advance in my career and I am now a Platinum Course Director teaching the IDC s at Ban s Diving Resort on a monthly basis. I am also very active in supporting Project AWARE in many eco projects. Come and do you re IDC with us and we will teach you an AWARD winning program that by far exceeds the minimum standards of the Dive Industry. 2
