I travelled a lot with international clients and I played the game, which was often a ruthless game.<\/p>\n<p>I lived in a world of high expectations, targets, and deadlines. The bottom line was profitability and I was surrounded by driven individuals and lots and lots of ambition. I worked hard and I played hard!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/why-choose-idc-koh-tao\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-thailand.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards thailand\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How and when did you arrive on Koh Tao?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started scuba diving in 1998 by chance. I was travelling after finishing school and I wanted to do something adventurous. So whilst on Koh Samui I did my PADI Open Water course and loved it. Since then scuba diving has always been an outlet for me. I love being under the water as it is so peaceful and a place where I can chill out and relax.<\/p>\n<p>While travelling for work I\u2019d always look at taking a day to dive in different locations. It was one of the best things about traveling. And it became addictive.<\/p>\n<p>I first visited Koh Tao in 2000, just for fun, on yet another Thai holiday.<\/p>\n<p>It was a different island back then! Koh Tao was very laid back with dirt roads and no 7\/11\u2019s. There was limited electricity and no high speed ferries. Travelling from Koh Samui took over 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Mae Haad was just a sandy road with a few wooden huts that housed a few local restaurants but the water was so inviting, crystal clear and full of marine life. It was so laid back it was almost at a standstill, the polar opposite of the 24\/7 bright lights of Asia\u2019s world city, Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/why-choose-koh-tao\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27626 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-koh-tao-paid-idc-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards koh tao paid idc\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Did the remote tropical island lifestyle appeal to you?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I returned to Koh Tao 6 years later to complete my <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/pro-level-courses\/padi-divemaster-course\/\">PADI Divemaster course<\/a>. By this time I was much more restless and for the first time in my life I was thinking about the possibility of living outside of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>At this time I wasn\u2019t super focused on becoming a dive professional. The Divemaster course was something for me to do while I pondered what to do with my life. Diving was something I enjoyed immensely but this combined with thoughts of a tropical island lifestyle started to grow on me.<\/p>\n<p>I began building meaningful relationships with people on Koh Tao and I loved the simplicity of island life in a remote location. Two weeks later I had quit my job.<\/p>\n<p>I knew what I didn\u2019t want! I knew I wasn\u2019t ready to go back to city life and my new relationship with scuba diving gave me a reason to stay on Koh Tao.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my love for scuba diving pretty much tipped the scales. In life there\u2019s always somebody or something that tips the scales! So I didn\u2019t go back. Well actually I did.<\/p>\n<p>I went back and packed!<\/p>\n<p>I returned to Koh Tao without a timeframe and just loved it. Scuba diving every day and I exchanged my high heels for flip-flops and on this visit I became more certain that this was my future.<\/p>\n<p>In the back of my mind I always knew I could return to Hong Kong and jump back on the city ladder. This was a little security for me I guess. But deep down I knew it was a ladder I didn\u2019t want to climb anymore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/lifestyle-packages\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27629 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-koh-tao-scuba-diving-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards koh tao scuba diving\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it more of a challenge for a Woman in Scuba Diving?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I first started scuba diving the industry appeared to be dominated by men. It wasn\u2019t any different from the corporate life I had left.<\/p>\n<p>I often heard comments like <em>\u201cAre you sure you are strong enough to carry that tank?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Of course I am!\u2019 <\/em>I would reply, with a smirk on my face. I guess I am barely 1.55 metres tall and weigh less than 50KG so I know I\u2019m small but I\u2019m sure I wouldn\u2019t have had comments like this had I been a man.<\/p>\n<p>My students often offer to carry my kit bag. I know they mean well and are only being polite but I tell them that If I can\u2019t carry a tank and a kit bag how can I teach them.<\/p>\n<p>Scuba diving is like life. You first need to be responsible for and take care of yourself before taking responsibility for others.<\/p>\n<p>So as a female in the scuba diving industry back in the 2000\u2019s, you needed additional conviction to succeed, but what I love about being a role model scuba diving professional is that it\u2019s not your strength that matters the most.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your skill, knowledge, people skills and most importantly your attitude that are key factors to your success.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27632\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-koh-tao-suki-hung-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards koh tao suki hung\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first role after becoming a Scuba Diving Instructor? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I joined Crystal in 2007 having completed my <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/pro-level-courses\/padi-instructor-development-course\/\">Instructor Development Course (IDC)<\/a> with another dive centre. I noticed a difference immediately. <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/padi-course-director-matt-bolton\/\">Matt Bolton was the General Manager<\/a> and had a much more open and inclusive management style.<\/p>\n<p>You were judged on your ability, skills and what you brought to the table. Not how long you had been in the industry, or who you knew. Matt was clear with the direction he wanted the business to go.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with I was teaching courses predominantly in English. I had arrived with some teaching experience but I didn\u2019t have the benefit of team teaching with more experienced Instructors.<\/p>\n<p>I worked alongside some of Crystal\u2019s best and most experienced PADI Instructors and I found this extremely beneficial. It added more structure to my teaching and gave me <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/es\/blog\/10-top-tips-for-new-padi-instructors-when-teaching-student-divers\/\">valuable insights on different methods of handling problems<\/a> you experience when teaching people to dive.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this experience I\u2019m a firm believer that a <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/pro-level-courses\/master-scuba-diver-trainer-program\/\">structured team teaching Internship<\/a> immediately after an IDC is extremely important for anybody wanting to teach full time.<\/p>\n<p>Matt was also clear with the role he envisaged for me. He wanted to be China Ready and with hindsight (I\u2019m sure he won\u2019t mind me saying) &#8211; before even China was ready! He anticipated the trend and change within the industry, so I enthusiastically embraced the initiative.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27635\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-koh-tao-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards koh tao\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was it like building a Team China at Crystal Dive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The early years were a challenge as Chinese speaking Dive Professionals where not in abundance. Operationally from day-to-day it was incredibly busy teaching courses, mentoring pro level candidates, liaising with agents, replying to correspondence, scheduling bookings and handling customer service related issues.<\/p>\n<p>We are not an ordinary PADI Dive Centre at Crystal Dive. We have the \u2018<em>Crystal way\u2019<\/em> of doing things and in my view it\u2019s the best way as we provide the highest standards of training. We are quite demanding and it\u2019s something Matt introduced from the very start and something I intended to emulate within our Chinese team.<\/p>\n<p>As the manager for Chinese Market Operations &amp; Training and eventual PADI Course Director for our Chinese team, I would often have to work as a life coach as well as a scuba diving instructor.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27638\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-award-koh-tao-suki-hung-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china award koh tao suki hung\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your journey to PADI Course Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a diving instructor it took quite a few years for me to step up and become a PADI Course Director. I learned a lot whilst teaching and Matt had been encouraging me to train to become a PADI Course Director since <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/pro-level-courses\/idc-staff-instructor-course\/\">I completed my PADI IDC Staff Instructor course with him.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I worked as a translator for Matt when he had Chinese candidates as well as a fully-fledged IDC Staff Instructor conducting segments of the Instructor Development Course under his indirect supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Although I was extremely busy I was enjoying life and I wasn\u2019t certain how ready I was for the commitment of PADI Course Director. Matt kept encouraging and although it was a big commitment and I had some issues with my ear, I finally decided it was the right time.<\/p>\n<p>So finally, in 2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/pro-level-courses\/cdtc-prep-course\/\">I completed the Course Director Training Course<\/a>. Matt &amp; Crystal Dive were and have been extremely supportive to me and I soon realised that teaching scuba diving and living on Koh Tao was what I wanted to do with my life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27641\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-padi-china-awards-koh-tao-efr-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com padi china awards koh tao efr\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Does coming from China add an extra challenge to your role?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In becoming a dive professional far from home, there where things I needed to consider. The cultural element in China dictates that you repay your parents for their hard work bringing you up.<\/p>\n<p>So you become a doctor or a lawyer. Luckily for me my mother understands and feels that the best way I can repay my parents is to live the life I want and to treasure the sacrifice that they have made. I am very fortunate to have such an understanding and supportive family.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind I needed to ensure that whatever I did was to the very best of my ability. And to be able to perform to such a high standard you need to make sure you have a real conviction and passion for it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/packages-prices\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27644 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/idckohtao.com-suki-hung-padi-course-director-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"idckohtao.com suki hung padi course director\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What type of person are you when teaching?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a very approachable person but I like to keep things straight. My nickname is \u2018Sifu\u2019 which means \u2018Mentor\u2019 and my candidates are all my prot\u00e9g\u00e9s so I call them \u2018Tudi\u2019. I think they appreciate that as I\u2019m not only teaching them how to train to become a scuba diving instructor, I\u2019m also helping with their real life skills.<\/p>\n<p>My Pro level candidates are mentored and that extends beyond the scope of scuba diving. We work together as a team and I think they appreciate it by the end of the IDC.<\/p>\n<p>There is a huge responsibility that comes with my role as we have to ensure candidates are trained to the highest of standards. <a href=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/es\/blog\/why-choose-koh-tao-for-a-padi-dive-instructor-course\/\">Our candidates travel from distant locations to commit to our training programs and I want to fully support them in that.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is a nurturing element to what I do and I love to see the transformation in people and to see them so happy after successful completion of the IDC and also with the personal changes in themselves. It\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n<p>At Crystal Dive we build lasting relationships with our Divemasters and Scuba Diving Instructors and stay in contact; it\u2019s more of a family.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, ultimately I have expectations and I want candidates to be successful dive professionals. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that you\u2019re helping change someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27647\" src=\"https:\/\/idckohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/crystaldive.com-sunsets-on-koh-tao-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"crystaldive.com sunsets on koh tao\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have some final thoughts on Crystal Dive? <\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been here now for over 10 years so Crystal is my family.
