IDC Program Director
Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bob Murphy. I am the Instructor Development Course program director and PADI Course Director working for Planet Scuba. I am based on Koh Tao, where we run Instructor Development Courses 12 months of the year, each directly followed by a PADI Instructor Exam.

I have been diving over 10 years and has certified over 1,500 students at all levels. My emphasis is on training well balanced, employable and knowledgeable instructors who can then go into the diving profession with the tools and abilities that make them a sought after commodity.
I am also able to offer an unusually high level of IDC preparation and a wealth of PADI Speciality Instructor ratings:
