Hello from Buckley Air Force Base!

Remember that only PADI 5-Star IDCs, CDCs and Gold Palm IDCs are authorized, certified and sanctioned to offer instructor training. Any center does not carry this certification, but is advertising instructor training, is either violatng PADI standards or simply acting as an agent for another center.

Neptune's (PADI Dive Center) is an agent. Subway (Gold Palm Resort) doesn't appear to offer any instructor training at all.

Please see the link from PADI to understand which centers are actually allowed to offer such services.

Our attention was recently brought to this thread. First of all AquaNUTS is misleading there are other ways of attending IDC's without going through an IDC or CDC, Course Directors can do IDC´s independently, and Dive Centers can sponser them as Alternate Sites. Neptune's is not an Agent for anyone, and we resent that AquaNUTS would try to trash us or get us involved in their ongoing feud with other Dive Internships in Thailand.

We will not use this thread to either promote ourselves or trash any other PADI Center in the hopes of winning ONE intern. We stand by our program and hope AquaNUTS refrains from using this forum for cheap advertising.

To those looking for Internships, do your research, contact your prospective locations and ask a ton of questions, and be wary of those centers who rather than promote their positives use negative campaigns against others.
