The PADI IDC Gili Islands is over. The IDC Candidates passed their PADI Instructor Examination and followed their dream to become a PADI Instructor. Now the real life as a dive instructor starts for Davy and Michelle. A new adventure, a long time dream, the oceans as their office....
Ending up after a 2 hours boat ride from Bali at Gili Air, it is not far to see Oceans 5. At the Pier there is a huge banner "Learn to dive at Oceans 5", at the beach PADI flags are dangling through the wind, and the dive center is only 5 meters away from the fast boat arrival point.
This is the first impression of most of our IDC candidates if they came from another island. The roads are sandy, there are no cars and no motorbikes, only hors carts and bikes. It is the perfect place for a PADI IDC.
The dive shop is a modern dive shop, the entrance is a 100 years old building from Java, called a Joglo, and the joglo is surrounded by relaxing spots. Behind the Joglo is a 25 meter training pool, an equipment room for students, an equipment room for guests, divemasters, and instructors. And a few meters further a huge classroom with AC, coffee corner and relaxing spaces.
The dive shop is in a resort, Oceans 5, that has 12 bungalows. Everything is build in a relaxing manner, so a lot of space to set up equipment and to teach.
This relaxing atmosphere is one of the key points of the PADI IDC Gili Islands philosophy. Oceans 5 has 2 PADI Course Directors, ! master Instructor, and 4 PADI IDC Staff Instructors who helps the candidates during the PADI IDC. The duration of the IDC is 12 days and the days starts at 8.30 and will be finished at 17.00. So no long working nights at Oceans 5 as an IDC candidate, that time is for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful sunsets at Gili Air.
After the 12 day PADI IDC there is a 2 days PADI Instructor Examination at Gili Trawangan. This was a piece of cake for our 2 candidates. Michelle and Davy passed the IE with very high scores and after the IE they could call themselves "PADI Instructors".
