AWARD WINNING PADI 5 STAR CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

WELCOME TO THE INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE!!! MEET OUR COURSE DIRECTORS Natalie Hunt Platinum PADI Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #460782 Natalie, who celebrates 20 years as a PADI dive professional, has taught diving to over 3000 travelers who were excited to change their lives here on Koh Tao. In addition to her Course Director role at Ban s Diving Resort, she is the dive centre manager of our sister company, Assava Dive Resort. Natalie offers you a true passion for the underwater world, enthusiasm for quality diver education, and unparalleled experience from which to draw upon when she guides you through professional diver training. She considers herself to be a global citizen having worked in Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Egypt, and Thailand, which has allowed her the opportunity to gain an appreciation for several cultures and diverse diving environments. Guillaume Fargues Platinum PADI Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #482749 Guillaume took his first dive 20 years ago in the cold waters of Northern France. Before becoming a dive professional, he was working as a management consultant in Paris. Once he realised that he was spending more time staring at his tropical fish screensaver than preparing PowerPoint presentations, he decided to pack his diving gear and a pair of boardshorts and headed to Thailand. For over 5 years, he worked as an Instructor on Koh Tao and trained many students from Open Water Diver to Divemaster. As a PADI Course Director, Guillaume has been running the IDCs at Ban s Diving Resort for the last 8 years. When he is not teaching IDCs, he is often seen on the boat ready to jump in with his sidemount unit. 2
