Philippines: Scuba Diving, PADI Courses & Dive Internships
Malapascua Exotic Island Dive & Beach Resort's 5* Instructor Development Center (IDC) was the first dive shop established on the island of Malapascua in the Philippines and continues to lead the pack with excellent service, local knowledge and PADI education. As the only 5* IDC center they offer an array of dive courses from the basic beginner to the professional instructor level. They are also the only National Geographic dive center on the island and are pleased to be able to offer the exclusive National Geographic Open Water Course and Specialty Course.
Being the dive shop that first located and dived with thresher sharks they thought it only right to be the first to create a PADI distinctive specialty course to help educate people about thresher sharks, why they are here, the problems they face and of course to help explain cleaning stations and the importance they play on a reef. Exotic Island distinctive specialty was accepted by PADI in November 2007 and they are proud to have certified many Thresher Specialists already.
Dive on the famous Pioneer Wreck as part of the Tec Deep course, this pristine hardly dived wreck is too deep for recreational diving but a perfect DSAT technical dive.
In 2008 Exotic Island were proud to host their first Instructor Development Course. As the only 5 * IDC on Malapascua they offer small all inclusive instructor courses. They will arrange everything for you including accommodation, food, transfers and required PADI materials, leaving you to concentrate on the start of your new career. Exotic Island's aim is not to mass produce instructors, instead they offer exclusive small course only 6 times a year..
