Meet Your Course Director: Warren "Waz" Beyers

Leading the April 23rd IDC is Warren Beyers, affectionately known as "Waz." Having recently completed his own intensive PADI Course Director Training Course, Waz brings fresh, innovative teaching methodologies and an unmatched passion for both diving and marine conservation. His goal is not only to guide candidates through successful completion of their instructor examinations but also to instill a profound respect and understanding of marine ecosystems.

Waz’s teaching style is highly personalized, ensuring that each candidate receives the individual attention necessary to excel. His approach is patient, supportive, and thorough—qualities essential for cultivating confident instructors.

The Environmental Edge at Oceans 5

What truly sets Oceans 5 apart is its unwavering focus on environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional IDC programs, Oceans 5 incorporates marine conservation into every training session. Candidates learn not only how to teach diving but also how to be ambassadors of the marine environment.

Throughout the IDC, candidates actively participate in conservation-focused activities, including reef cleanups, coral restoration projects, and educational workshops on marine biodiversity. These hands-on experiences reinforce the importance of sustainable diving practices and provide instructors with the skills needed to incorporate environmental education into their future dive courses.

A Unique and Comprehensive Curriculum

The PADI IDC at Oceans 5 spans 20 comprehensive days, meticulously structured to ensure candidates have ample time to master essential skills and theory. Here's what you can expect:

• Dive Theory and Knowledge Development: A thorough review of dive physics, physiology, equipment, skills, and environment, ensuring that every candidate has a robust theoretical foundation.

• Confined Water Teaching: Candidates practice teaching dive skills in Oceans 5's state-of-the-art training pools, learning how to effectively demonstrate skills and manage student divers safely and confidently.

• Open Water Training: Practical sessions conducted in the crystal-clear waters around Gili Air, allowing candidates to refine their teaching and supervisory skills in real-world dive scenarios.

• Rescue Workshop: A unique full-day rescue refresher ensuring that instructor candidates not only perform rescue skills competently but can also effectively teach and manage emergency situations.

• Environmental Integration: Specialized workshops on coral reef ecology, marine species identification, sustainable dive practices, and conservation advocacy.

Limited Spots for Personalized Attention

At Oceans 5, quality always takes precedence over quantity. To ensure every candidate receives personalized mentoring and support, the IDC groups are kept intentionally small. This approach not only enhances the learning experience but also fosters stronger connections between candidates, leading to lifelong professional relationships and friendships.
