In the serene surroundings of Gili Air, where turquoise waters meet pristine beaches, a transformation occurs every year—a transformation of passionate divers into skilled, confident, and environmentally conscious PADI instructors. Oceans 5 Gili Air, a leading PADI Career Development Centre, is at the heart of this metamorphosis. In 2025, Oceans 5 Gili Air is set to conduct ten PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDC), offering a unique and intensive 20-day program designed to produce instructors who are not only technically proficient but also deeply committed to marine conservation.

The PADI IDC Experience: 20 Days of Intensive Training

The PADI IDC Gili Islands program at Oceans 5 Gili Air is more than just a course; it's an immersive journey into the world of professional diving. Spanning 20 days, the program is meticulously structured to ensure that candidates leave as confident and well-prepared instructors, ready to teach diving anywhere in the world.

The course is comprehensive, covering all aspects of dive instruction. From the theoretical knowledge needed to teach PADI courses to the practical skills required to lead dives safely, candidates are trained to the highest standards. What sets the PADI IDC Gili Islands apart is its focus on realistic teaching techniques. Candidates are not only taught how to teach but also how to adapt their teaching methods to different environments and student needs, ensuring that they can provide high-quality instruction no matter where they go.

Small Groups, High-Quality Training

Oceans 5 Gili Air prides itself on offering personalized training with small group sizes. This approach ensures that each candidate receives the attention and guidance they need to excel. In small groups, candidates have more opportunities to practice, ask questions, and receive feedback from experienced instructors. This personalized attention is a cornerstone of the PADI IDC Gili Islands program, contributing to the high success rate of its candidates in the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

The Instructor Examination: Gili Air’s Unique Advantage

One of the distinct advantages of the PADI IDC Gili Islands at Oceans 5 Gili Air is the possibility of conducting the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) on Gili Air itself. If there are four or more IDC candidates, the IE can be held on the island, providing candidates with the comfort and familiarity of their training environment. This home-ground advantage is invaluable, as it allows candidates to perform at their best during the examination, reducing the stress and pressure often associated with this critical step in becoming a certified PADI instructor.

If the number of candidates is fewer than four, the IE takes place on nearby Gili Trawangan. Oceans 5 Gili Air ensures a seamless experience by arranging all necessary transport and logistics, allowing candidates to focus entirely on their performance.

Commitment to Environmental Awareness

Beyond the technical training, the PADI IDC Gili Islands at Oceans 5 Gili Air is deeply committed to instilling a sense of environmental stewardship in its candidates. The Gili Islands are a marine paradise, but they are also fragile ecosystems that require careful protection. Oceans 5 integrates marine conservation into its IDC program, ensuring that every candidate leaves not only as a competent instructor but also as a guardian of the ocean.

Candidates learn about local and global marine conservation issues and participate in hands-on conservation activities. This commitment to the environment is a core part of the training at Oceans 5, aligning with the broader goals of PADI’s Project AWARE initiative.

Celebrating Success: A Testament to Quality

The success of the PADI IDC Gili Islands program is reflected in the achievements of its graduates. Just last month, PADI Instructor Gede, who completed his training at Oceans 5 Gili Air, received a Certificate of Excellence from PADI within a month of certification. This recognition is a testament to the quality of training provided at Oceans 5 and the dedication of its instructors.

Gede’s success story is not an isolated case; it exemplifies the high standards and personalized attention that each candidate receives during the IDC. Oceans 5 Gili Air’s commitment to producing top-notch instructors who excel in their careers is evident in the accolades and successes of its alumni.
