PADI IDC Gili Islands at Oceans 5 Gili Air: Elevating Dive Education and Marine Conservation

Nestled in the stunning archipelago of Indonesia, Oceans 5 Gili Air stands as the only PADI Career Development Centre (CDC) on Gili Air. Since its establishment in 2010, Oceans 5 has steadily grown into a renowned name in the dive industry, particularly noted for its commitment to marine conservation and high-quality dive education. Awarded the highest ranking by PADI in 2014 for its exceptional teaching standards, Oceans 5 continues to set the benchmark for dive centers worldwide.

A Commitment to Quality and Conservation

Oceans 5 Gili Air operates with a clear and passionate philosophy: to protect the marine environment and to provide top-notch dive education. This dedication is palpable throughout the dive resort, where every student and diver is immersed in an environment that prioritizes ocean conservation. This year, Oceans 5 received a prestigious award from PADI for its outstanding contribution to ocean conservation, further cementing its reputation as a leader in the field.

The resort’s conservation efforts are extensive and impactful. Weekly beach clean-ups, organizing the Gili Air Clean Up Day, and supporting Gili Cares, a local initiative dedicated to waste collection on Gili Air, are just a few examples of their proactive approach. Additionally, Oceans 5 partners with the University of Mataram on marine surveys, showcasing their commitment to scientific research and sustainable practices.

Focus on Individual Attention and Safety

Oceans 5’s philosophy extends beyond marine conservation to emphasize quality over quantity in its educational approach. Scuba diving students at Oceans 5 can expect to learn in small groups, ensuring personalized attention and enhanced safety. This approach is evident across all courses, from beginner levels to professional training.

The emphasis on individualized instruction is particularly significant in professional courses such as the PADI Divemaster and Instructor Development Course (IDC). These courses are designed not just to certify divers but to transform them into competent, confident professionals ready to excel in the global dive industry.

The PADI Instructor Development Course

At the heart of Oceans 5’s professional training is the PADI IDC, a comprehensive 20-day program led by PADI Course Director Sander. With over 20 years of scuba diving experience, Sander brings a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to the course. His teaching techniques are realistic and adaptable, ensuring that IDC candidates are well-prepared to teach and inspire future divers worldwide.

The IDC at Oceans 5 is meticulously structured to go beyond merely passing the PADI Instructor Examination (IE). The course aims to develop candidates into proficient scuba diving instructors capable of delivering high-quality education and ensuring the safety of their students. This holistic approach equips IDC candidates with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the competitive dive industry.
