PADI Course Director, EFR/CFC Instructor Trainer and Oxygen Provider Instructor Trainer
Hi, my name is Guy Corsellis and I am originally from Ostende, Belgium, I speak French, Dutch, German and English fluently (as a native), as well as the Thai, since I live in Thailand for 19 years now. Following my training, you can be sure to benefit from an education in your own language and not through translations (as it is the case in the most of the other PADI IDC centers of Koh Tao, who teach in most cases in English).
At the age of 22 years, envious to discover the world and being very fond of of new skylines, I emigrated to Thailand, where I discovered the world of depths, and the pleasure « of blowing bubbles ». Soon I became passionate about the underwater world fascinated by scuba diving. I wanted to transmit this passion to other people and therefore became diving instructor on Koh Tao and Koh Samui in 1998.
I participated in the very first PADI IDC ever accomplished on Koh Tao in 1998!!! I then elected Koh Tao to be ‘my rock’ and my permanent domicile. Today I live on this island for almost 19 years,
My experience later allowed me to develop my career and finally reach the prestigious status of Platinum PADI Course Director. During all these years, with more than 3000 dives in my logbook, I certified numerous divers, from Open Water Diver to Staff Instructeur, including hundreds of Divemasters and Diving Instructors.
Today I have more than 1000 recorded professional diving certifications and work as Manager of the dive centre Asia Divers, a PADI 5 stars Instructor Developement Center. My personal commitment for every student assures you to get through your IDC / IE exams successfully. Our rate of success in IDC / IE exams since 1998 is almost 100 %. The same applies for the dive trainings starting in Divemaster, MSDT and Staff Instructeur level.
All my trainings take place in a very professional frame. While knowing how to “loosen” from time to time, you will feel a studious atmosphere, as well as a feeling of individual, serious and efficient accompaniment in my classes.
I will always be there to help you if you need it, even later in the evening. Endowed with a sense of well pronounced humour, I am going to make you appreciate your training within the Asia Divers ambience and we’ll have some serious parties too!!
I will be all the way with you until the evening of the instructor’s certification party, the famous ” IE party “, where I will bring my hidden “Flemish party-goer” side to light, to accompany you to the end of the night and to reward you for all your efforts … and I sure will be there for you during the unavoidable “snorkeltest” parties for new qualified Divemasters, to celebrate your entrance to the professional world of PADI in the correct way!!!
By choosing to join us in our dive center at Asia Divers in Koh Tao, you will be guaranteed to follow a quality dive training, and be welcomed in a upper quality resort with high standards which will provide you a room with all comfort.
Since 1998, I am conducting PADI IDcs and teach diving instructors every month, you can consult the IDC schedules by clicking this link.
