Exceptional IDC at Sairee Cottage Diving The IDC with Marcel at Sairee Cottage Diving in Koh Tao was outstanding! The Course Director Marcel's unique, fun teaching style made learning engaging and effective, blending humor with expert guidance. The course was well-structured, preparing us thoroughly for the Instructor Exam while building confidence in real-world teaching. The supportive team, stunning location, and camaraderie among candidates made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this IDC for anyone looking to become a dive instructor-be ready to learn, laugh, and grow! Thank you once again to Marcel, Julian and the Sairee Cottage Team!

Super fond memories of doing my Dive Master here at Sairee. One of the best experiences of my life. Fantastic team and fantastic facility at Sairee. I encourage anyone thinking about it, to take the plunge (literally) and come dive with the Sairee Family.

I just did my IDC "Christmas edition" with Marcel Van Den Berg and Julian Pico! I'm more than happy about the course provided ! They truly care about you and they're always here to help. They even stay late after class to help you out. It is more than just a course, the people you meet there become your family for a while and it really is an amazing experience. I kept in touch with everyone. Marcel and Julian are still here even after the course if you need any help for whatever reason ! It was a lot of fun.. I can't tell you guys how much I miss listening to Marcel's stories..! If you are looking for a dive center to do any of your courses, from OW to MSDT, I truly recommend Marcel Van Den Berg Platinum Course Director ! He definitely earns that name ! Shout-out to Julian Pico, they make the best team together. I would like to thank Ponnipa Maii as well, because she is the one that makes everything possible. She is making things work out and thanks to her, the course was smooth and well organized. I think that without her the dive center/courses wouldn't be the same! Once again, massive thank you to everyone at the dive center ! Camille

We actually switched location from the pool area to the beach last minute. I preferred having a mat on the sand so the regulators would not touch the sand, but it was unavailable. We rinsed the regulator carefully after the set up in the water. And yes I agree try to use a blanket or mat when you are setting up on the beach :)
@c.patricksadowski99592 жыл бұрын
Marcel, love your content, but putting together a kit, on the beach, and dropping the regs on the sand after cleaning them....maybe not... :-). a Mat or Towel under the kit might have been a better way to present this, if you only had a sandy beach to put your kit together on. Merci
@MarcelVanDenBerg12 жыл бұрын
Good tip! It was a last minute change as we could't film at the pool where it was planned and we had no access to a towel or mat at that time. No sand entered the first stage and no sand can enter the hose when you don't press the purge button. Only some sand can enter in the mouth piece of the second stage that can easily be washed out in water. Especially after putting pressure on the regulator, no sand can ever enter. But you are right it would have looked better on a towel. Thanks for the tip! :)

Why is it, for a free flow regulator, that we don't teach students to simply grab the octo, and use that to surface? If we have free flowing regulator, and a perfectly good one on our side, why risk a new student (OW Diver) and potentially create a panic situation. This is the way it was taught to me, but in hindsight, should probably be amended in the PADI handbooks
@MarcelVanDenBerg12 жыл бұрын
Hi Patrick, I believe the skill is taught that in case you don't have access to your alternate air source or when your second stage and your alternate air source free flow together you can still use this technique to safely surface.
