on

For Divemasters who are thinking of becoming a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, February is the perfect time to do so, allowing for candidates to be up and running before the main tourist seasons in Asia.

The Gili Islands is the perfect place to take the program as they are fast becoming Asia’s top destination for divers of all levels and therefore a perfect place to start a career as a PADI Instructor.

The course price includes a pre-IDC workshop program, the full IDC course and the Emergency First Response Instructor Course. The February pre-IDC workshop will run from the 16th to the 19th of February and is basically designed to prepare candidates for the Instructor Development Course. Candidates are strongly recommended to turn up before the prep program so as to take full advantage of the preparation time.

If candidates wish to arrive earlier they will also able to take advantage of free fun diving.

The PADI IDC Course will start on the 20th February and will continue until the 3rd March and is designed to teach candidates how to conduct PADI programs and deliver PADI education in an effective manner. Afterwards the IDC candidates will than sit the PADI Instructor Examination in the Gili Islands under the supervision of a PADI Examiner. Once the new Instructors have passed the assessment they will then take the EFRI course, which will be conducted on 4th and 5th of March.

The PADI IDC Indonesia Course is a great way to get into the industry and to start working directly after the course. The program is conducted by highly renowned Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod at the first ever established PADI CDC Center in Lombok and the Gili Islands. There are many dive centres situated in Gili Trawangan that are always looking for new Instructors.
