I did my IDC Mar 2017 on Koh Tao, Buddha View, with Course Director Marie, and I am extremely impressed with the quality of the course! We all passed, thanks to Marie!The staff is very friendly, helpful and relaxed, they all know what they are doing, hence the whole operation runs efficiently & smoothly. I can sincerely recommend DIve-Careers!
Cheers, Lena

Dive-Careers does a wonderful job in not only preparing you to easily pass the IE but also to become a wonderful instructor. Ample time all aspects of diving and there is a focus for everyone to have a good understanding of the theory involved in the diving industry.

Thank you Mark Soworka, Julien Fortin and Andrea Warren for a rewarding IDC experience! They trained us hard not just to pass the IE but to excel at it! Couldn't have asked for a better team of mentors!

It was a great experience. The Instructors helped me to feel ready for the IE. Hard work and lot of fun made it possible.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time doing the IDC with Buddha View. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed while also making every day fun. The training was easy to follow but in depth and fully prepared me for the IE. Over all a brilliant course.

Mark, Marie and Andrea did a great job preparing us for the IE as well as life after the exam. I felt I learned exactly what I needed to to be ready for the working world. They made it fun and challenging and were always willing to help any time of day. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to do IDC!

The dive master training is excellent. Andrea is an amazing mentor who is switched on and cater the whole program to your needs and time in Koh Tao. She is fantastic in giving you useful feedback to make you a better diver. She is very resourceful. The dive centre is packed with genuinely nice people. You will feel at home and make a family of divers living in a pretty awesome spot in Koh Tao. Look no more. Just do it !

My time at Buddah view dive centre was fantastic. Andrea and Mark from dive careers are very professional and flexible. I learnt so much in such a short time and felt welcomed by the entire dive school. So many options for all types and levels of diving. Thoroughly able to recommend to anyone.

I just finished my IDC with Dive Careers at Buddha View in Koh Tao, it was a great experience and great fun. I had the opportunity to have lectures with both Marie and Mark, they are very experienced in the dive industry and at the same time very passionate about what they do, I feel very lucky to have found those guys along the way. It's very inspiring to see, at the starting point of my careers, professionals who love what they do and are happy to share. All the training is very well structured so the IE becomes simple, I got a top score on all my water and skills presentations. Post IE it's also great to count with the professional guidance and the support. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely go with Dive Careers.

Thanks to awesome course directors and staff instructors we made it through the IDC and IE with only a few breakdowns. Great course, really nice to have two CDs there to help us along. Thank you!!

Mark was very supportive and would always take time for each individual! An amazing experience with some amazing people. I very much recommend Dive careers as an organisation to go through if you are deciding to become a Scuba Diving Instructor... you will have access to people who have a wide knowledge of the industry, as well as access to study guides that will guide you through the experience of an IDC.

Thanks to Marie and Marks effort and commitment to us, we were able to pass the IDC with no mayor problem.
They probe to be really dedicated to making us feel prepared and confident.
In my case I really need to thank Andrea Warren my dive master trainer, who gave a great advice and was the reason why I decided to go through with the IDC. She prepared me with all the skills and knowledge that I would need during this course.

With 20+ years of experience, and over 5000 instructor level certifications, Mark Soworka truly is the "Godfather" of IDC's.

And after all that time, Mark still remains an ambassador whose passion for the ocean, diving, and educating dive professionals is not only clearly obvious, but infectious!

After completing the IDC with Mark, I am a better diver, learner, and person thanks to his ability to get the most out of his candidates. He’s humble, teaches from personal experience, and is genuinely excited to show you the way.

As for the IDC, it’s no piece of cake! You will be tired and stressed, you may even curse, cry and pull your hair out in frustration, but you will LEARN, LAUGH & MEET FRIENDS FOR LIFE! If you follow Marks’s recipe, you’ll not only pass the IE with flying colors, you will be far better equipped to launch your new careers as dive professionals.

I wanted to learn from the best, and I did with Mark Soworka and Dive-Careers.com.
Thanks Mark, we love ya! Ben & Nicole.

i must say that i enjoyed the IDC a lot. Bas was an amazing teacher that was on point, knowledgable, fun. he made the class interesting and easy to learn. couldn't have asked for a better Course Director. the facilities were also amazing and all that staff were fun and helpful. the classrooms were big, the pool was beautiful with a great deep end and shallow part perfect for learning all the skills. all in all i am happy that i did my IDC here. thank you

I attended the close IDC of Taormina in the month of October with dive-Careers. We were a small group and have advanced together to EI in now a good group spirit. The answers to the questions were always clear and data. A great experience that has led us all to pass the exam. Thank you Mark and Mary. Hope to see you again above or under the water.
J'ai participé à l'IDC proche de Taormina au mois d'octobre avec dive-Careers. Nous étions un petit groupe et avons avancé ensemble vers l'IE en maintenant un bel esprit de groupe. Les réponses aux interrogations divers et variés ont toujours été claires et données. Une belle expérience qui nous a tous mené jusque la réussite de l'examen. Merci Mark et Marie. Hope to see you again above or under the water.
