PADI Course Directors at Scuba Cat Diving, Phuket, Thailand

Christopher Pace, Resident PADI Platinum Course Director (2008 and 2009), CD-925601

I started diving in Europe over 20 years ago since then, diving has become my favourite activity. Before working in the dive industry, I used to work as an International Observer for the United Nations in countries such as Mozambique, Cambodia and South Africa. My main task was to implement civil education program, to teach local people how to organize elections and implement Human Right's.

Course Director

Becoming an Instructor was the best combination of "Teaching and Diving". My career as a PADI Instructor took me to wonderful places: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Cayman Islands, Egypt, The Philippines, Sipadan, Indonesia, Vietnam and for the last 9 years in Thailand. The contacts I have made in all these years are very useful for my PADI IDC candidates when they are looking for a job.


Since 2000, I have concentrated on PADI Instructor levels, in 2001 and 2002 I received PADI's prestigious: Outstanding Contribution for Instructor Development Award and in 2003 and 2008 A certificate of Recognition for Excellence.


Platinum Course Director Award was received during 2008 and for the second year running for 2009.


Now, I conduct PADI IDC's with the Scuba Cat Team and oversee Scuba Cat Diving, 5 * CDC Center, Phuket, Thailand's innovative Career Development Programmes and Internships.
