PADI IDC Indonesia |Gili Islands | Divemaster, Instructor and Beyond!




By joining the PADI IDC Indonesia; PADI Divemasters and PADI Instructors can develop their career to a level that will not only make them highly employable, but will develop their confidence to deal with all the challenges and obstacles a PADI professional  can expect to find within industry.

There are a range of career enhancing options available at our PADI CDC Center in Gili Trawangan. Our PADI IDC Indonesia Komodo experience program will allow instructors to experience running a successful livaboard operation by shadowing the cruise director on board our Livaboard trip in Komodo. For those who have a real passion for the environment we run The PADI IDC Gili Islands Biorock IDC and conservation Program which allows candidates to finish their instructor training and progress straight onto the 2 week Biorock program which teaches you about general environmental conditions and ways in which they can be identified and protected. Students will look at the way in which the reefs have been protected in the Gili Islands and see first-hand the effect this has had on the immediate environment. Other Career Development options include Technical Diving and Videography programs.

The IDC course itself is taught on a 10 day schedule with a recommended additional 4 days of pre-IDC preparation. The course is a very serious course but at the same time can be fun. Trawangan Dive is the only PADI Career Development Center (CDC) in the Gili Islands and therefore is a very busy center allowing candidates to meet a range of other professional and non-professional divers, taking their first steps in networking themselves within the dive community. Also should Instructor candidates wish to take an experience internship they will be shadowing some of our experienced instructor learning the course format, picking up some valuable tips and of course picking up their first certifications. Check out our PADI Instructor Training website for more information about the IDC Course here in Gili Trawangan. We can also be found on our PADI IDC Indonesia Facebook page where you can check out previous candidates and follow their progress. For more information don’t hesitate to contactour PADI Course Director directly for more info.
