Why Choose Oceans 5 Gili Air for Your PADI IDC?

Oceans 5 Gili Air, the only PADI Career Development Centre (CDC) on Gili Air, has built its reputation by prioritizing quality education, small group sizes, and environmental awareness. Here’s what makes the upcoming January IDC at Oceans 5 stand out:

1. Small Group Sizes for Personal Attention

Unlike many dive centers that crowd their IDC programs, Oceans 5 keeps its group sizes small—typically limited to 6 candidates per course. This approach ensures every participant receives the personal attention they need. Course Director Sander Buis and the team focus on addressing each candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, fostering an environment of growth and confidence.

For aspiring instructors, this personalized guidance is invaluable. Oceans 5’s philosophy prioritizes realistic teaching techniques that can be applied in any dive environment around the world. Whether it’s refining your buoyancy skills, improving your problem-solving abilities, or mastering classroom presentations, you’ll have the time, space, and support to succeed.

2. A Flexible and Adaptive IDC

Oceans 5 Gili Air does not believe in a rigid, one-size-fits-all program. While the PADI IDC follows a structured curriculum, flexibility is at the core of Oceans 5’s approach. The IDC program identifies and focuses on the specific challenges of each candidate.

Struggling with a certain skill or presentation? The team will adapt, ensuring you have the time and guidance to improve. This flexible teaching style means you are not left behind but empowered to overcome challenges and excel during the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).

3. State-of-the-Art Facilities Designed for Your Comfort

Training to become a PADI Dive Instructor is an intensive process, and having modern, well-equipped facilities can make a world of difference. Oceans 5 Gili Air offers:

• Spacious, Air-Conditioned Classroom: The classroom is designed to accommodate all candidates comfortably. Equipped with modern teaching tools, whiteboards, projectors, and ample workspace, the environment is conducive to learning theory and practicing classroom presentations.
• Two Dedicated Dive Pools: Unlike dive centers that share pool spaces or face time limitations, Oceans 5 has two pools specifically designed for scuba diving training. The spacious pools allow candidates to practice confined water skills without distractions or overcrowding, ensuring a more relaxed and productive learning environment.
• Top-Notch Equipment: At Oceans 5, candidates train using modern, well-maintained scuba gear. Safety and quality are non-negotiable.

The facilities are designed to enhance your overall IDC experience, allowing you to focus entirely on developing the skills needed to become a confident and capable dive instructor.

4. A Focus on Environmental Awareness

Oceans 5 Gili Air isn’t just about producing dive instructors; it’s about creating ocean ambassadors. Environmental awareness is deeply integrated into the IDC program. Candidates are taught the importance of responsible diving practices and how to incorporate conservation education into their teaching.

From practicing neutral buoyancy during open water sessions to participating in weekly beach cleanups, candidates experience firsthand how dive instructors can play a pivotal role in protecting marine ecosystems. At Oceans 5, being an instructor means being an advocate for the ocean.

5. Learn From Industry Experts

The January IDC at Oceans 5 is led by PADI Course Director Sander Buis, whose expertise and experience have shaped countless successful dive professionals. Sander, along with Oceans 5’s team of experienced instructors, provides a mentorship-driven learning environment where candidates are encouraged to ask questions, explore solutions, and gain confidence.

The team’s passion for diving and teaching is contagious, inspiring candidates to not only meet PADI standards but exceed them. This commitment to quality ensures candidates are prepared to teach, manage students, and handle real-world challenges long after they pass their IE.
