This marks a significant milestone not only in Waz’s professional diving career but also in the continued growth and excellence of our PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDCs) at Oceans 5 Gili Air.

A Journey of Dedication and Excellence

For years, Waz has been a pillar of our dive community, consistently demonstrating unparalleled dedication, professionalism, and a passion for diving education.

His acceptance into the Course Director Training Course is a well-earned achievement, reflecting years of hard work, commitment, and an unwavering passion for the underwater world. The CDTC is an intensive program designed to train elite diving professionals to become PADI Course Directors—the highest level of teaching certification within the PADI system.

Over the years, he has demonstrated a profound understanding of the PADI system and has continually pushed himself to be a better educator and mentor.

Moreover, Waz has always been an advocate for marine conservation. He has been actively involved in the environmental initiatives at Oceans 5, including our beach cleanups, conservation talks, and collaborations with the University of Mataram. His commitment to integrating conservation into dive education aligns perfectly with Oceans 5’s mission to create environmentally responsible instructors who can positively impact the global diving community.
