Oceans 5 first opened their doors as a PADI dive resort in 2010 on the beautiful island of Gili Air, Lombok. It quickly became an IDC center the following year, and through dedicated focus on quality teaching it also became a 5* PADI Career Development Center and DDI Instructor Training Center in 2014.
Sander did not stop to developย his diving skills.ย In 2013 Sander became a PADI Course Director. His passion for diving, his diving knowledge and his diving experience all over the world are a perfect combination of ingredients for yourย PADI IDC.
During the PADI IDC Sander will concentrate on the weaknesses of the candidates and will make these better. He does not like to teach the IDC candidates how to pass the Instructor Examination but he likes to create confident dive instructors.
