Recently I travelled to Koh Phangan to look at the facilities and logistics for conducting IDC's on Koh Phangan and the first IDC taught by me on Koh Phangan will start 5th September with a PADI IE scheduled on 18th and 19th September on Koh Phangan and various PADI Instructor level Specialities scheduled after the IE.

Haad Yao Divers opened it's doors in 1997 and was the first Dive Center on the west coast of Koh Phangan and one of the island's pioneers. At that time Koh Phangan was famous for its Fullmoon Parties on Haadrin beach but unknown for the beauty of its unspoiled reefs. Things have changed ever since and although the FMP (Full Moon Party) is a big monthly re-occurring event, diving on Koh Phangan took also off slowly but steadily.
Haad Yao divers own their own dive boat, currently Koh Phangan's largest and most spacious boat.
If you like to complete your IDC in a relaxed and tropical island setting than Haad Yao Divers on Koh Phangan may be your calling! I'm looking forward to start my first IDC together with Haad Yao Divers on this beautiful island!
