A Triumph at Oceans 5 Gili Air

PADI IDC Gili Islands | Oceans 5 Gili Air | Scuba Instructor Indonesia

At Oceans 5 Gili Air, we take pride in delivering top-tier dive instructor training, and our latest PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) has been another resounding success. After 21 days of rigorous preparation, our four dedicated candidates—Kimmie, Marion, Ipan, and Emily—have officially earned their PADI Instructor certifications, passing their Instructor Examination (IE) with outstanding results. Their journey has been marked by commitment, passion, and unwavering support from our PADI IDC staff, led by Course Director Sander and Master Instructor Waz.

The Journey to Becoming a PADI Instructor

The path to becoming a dive instructor is both demanding and rewarding. Over the course of three intensive weeks, our candidates immersed themselves in dive theory, instructional techniques, and practical teaching exercises. Guided by Sander and Waz, they gained hands-on experience in confined water presentations, open water skill demonstrations, and classroom teaching sessions.

"The IDC at Oceans 5 was truly a life-changing experience. The support from Sander and Waz, as well as my fellow candidates, made this an incredible journey. I feel confident and ready to teach!" — Kimmie, PADI Instructor

From day one, the focus was on building confidence and ensuring that every candidate could not only pass the IE but also excel in real-world teaching situations. Our philosophy at Oceans 5 Gili Air is to produce instructors who are knowledgeable, skilled, and environmentally responsible.

The Instructor Examination: A Defining Moment

The two-day PADI Instructor Examination is the final hurdle before candidates earn their certification. During this process, an official PADI examiner evaluates their ability to conduct teaching presentations, execute rescue exercises, demonstrate essential dive skills, and perform well on written theory exams.

"Going into the IE, I was nervous, but the training we received during the IDC made me feel completely prepared. When we heard the final words, 'You are all now PADI Instructors,' I was overwhelmed with happiness!" — Marion, PADI Instructor

Our candidates faced the challenge head-on, demonstrating the high standards of instruction they had received at Oceans 5 Gili Air. Their success was not just about passing the exam but about showcasing the professionalism and competence that make great instructors.

Oceans 5 Gili Air: A Premier PADI IDC Center

At Oceans 5 Gili Air, we go beyond preparing candidates for the IE. Our goal is to shape instructors who can teach effectively, inspire new divers, and protect the marine environment. We keep our IDC groups small to ensure each candidate receives personalized attention, fostering a tight-knit learning community.

"The small group size was a huge advantage. We had so much one-on-one time with Sander and Waz, which helped us refine our skills. I wouldn’t have wanted to do my IDC anywhere else!" — Ipan, PADI Instructor

By maintaining this approach, we create a supportive and engaging environment where every candidate gets the tools they need to succeed. The proof lies in the continued success of our graduates in the diving industry.

Next Steps: Career Opportunities and Further Training

With their PADI Instructor certifications in hand, Kimmie, Marion, Ipan, and Emily are now ready to embark on their careers. Their passion and strong skill sets make them excellent candidates for dive centers seeking knowledgeable and motivated instructors.

"I feel prepared not just to teach, but to be an advocate for the ocean and marine life. Oceans 5 didn’t just train me to be an instructor; they taught me to be a responsible diver." — Emily, PADI Instructor

For those looking to enhance their qualifications, Oceans 5 Gili Air offers the Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) preparation course, starting on the 5th of February. This program enables new instructors to teach multiple PADI specialties, increasing their employability and expertise.
