Dive Phuket with Indepth Dive Centre:
PADI 5* Instructor Development Center (IDC) & TecRec center
Why Dive Phuket with Chris and Indepth? IDC Phuket was formed some 20 years ago. The company was named “Indepth Instruction co Ltd” and is the brain child of PADI Course Director and Rebreather Instructor Trainer Chris Owen. Chris now sports over 28 years’ experience working full time in the scuba diving industry in Thailand and Asia. Continuing to dive Phuket and teaching scuba diving remains his passion.
As divers, we love to dive Phuket. After so many years we still enjoy providing thrilling first time try dive experiences with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving. We also teach PADI Open Water Diver courses and offer PADI scuba diving courses all the way to the professional levels. This starts with the PADI Divemaster Course and PADI Instructor Development Course or IDC. In addition, you can dive on a Rebreather! If you are not certified to dive on a Rebreather DO NOT PANIC! PADI Rebreather Courses from diver level to PADI Rebreather Instructor are also available.
Our Dive Shop is focused on quality, safety and fun. We have achieved this by remaining small and concentrating on being thoroughly professional and building on experience. Dive Centers whose main aim is volume or who use cheap pricing to attract many students CANNOT achieve this. Therefore we decided to focus on small numbers, and on providing the best possible personal and professional touches we can.
As a result, we are not the cheapest, and to be honest we would not want to be the cheapest! To dive Phuket properly there is simply no way to provide the quality and value for money that we believe we provide and be the "cheapest".
What IDC Phuket Offers
We choose to offer what we would look for ourselves if we were looking to dive Phuket. Whether it is a Liveaboard Safari or a Phuket Day trip to dive the local Phuket dive sites. We strive to offer the best customer service and value for money possible!
Chris is first of all CEO of Indepth and is also the owner. He currently manages and teaches the Instructor Development / IDC side of the Dive Centre. Furthermore, Chris runs the Poseidon Rebreather Centre operations. Since 1992 Chris has been working full time in the scuba diving industry in Thailand. As a result this means over 28 years’ experience from working as a Divemaster to teaching Scuba Diving. And since becoming a PADI Course Director in April 2000, teaching people how to teach people to teach Scuba Diving. In addition, Chris has managed and owned Dive Shops in Thailand, before opening Indepth on Phuket.
His experience in every aspect of dive company management means that Indepth Dive Centre runs smoothly and successfully. Back in 1995 Chris was also the first to bring Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) to Thailand in 1995.
He became a PADI Course Director in April 2000 focusing on Instructor level training for PADI, EFR and DAN. Since 2012 Chris became addicted to diving the Poseidon Rebreather and is consequently now a PADI Poseidon Rebreather Instructor Trainer.
