Becoming a PADI Instructor is more than just passing an exam—it’s about gaining the skills, confidence, and real-world experience to teach divers effectively in any environment. If you're looking for an Instructor Development Course (IDC) that goes beyond textbook knowledge and prepares you for the challenges of teaching in a real marine park, then Oceans 5 Gili Air is the place to be.
Starting September 10th, our 20-day PADI IDC, led by PADI Course Director Waz, is designed to transform you into a confident, competent, and environmentally conscious dive instructor. Unlike mass-produced IDC centers that focus on churning out certifications, Oceans 5 prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring you leave not just as an instructor, but as a skilled educator who can handle real-world teaching scenarios.
Why This IDC is Different:
✅ Not Just About Passing the Exam – We focus on real teaching techniques so you don’t need reteaching when you start working.
✅ Environmental Awareness is Key – You’ll learn to teach in a marine park, emphasizing conservation and sustainable diving.

✅ Small, Personalized Training – No overcrowded classrooms; just focused, high-quality instruction.
✅ Spacious Facilities – A huge classroom and two large pools for comfortable confined water training.

If you want an IDC that truly prepares you for a career in diving, read on to discover why Oceans 5 Gili Air is the best choice for your instructor training.
Meet Your Mentor: PADI Course Director Waz
Your IDC experience is only as good as your Course Director, and at Oceans 5, you’ll be trained by Waz, a highly experienced PADI Course Director with a passion for real-world teaching and marine conservation.
Why Train with Waz?
🔹 Decades of Experience – Waz has trained hundreds of instructors worldwide, ensuring you get proven, effective training methods.
🔹 Focus on Practical Teaching – Unlike some IDC programs that just teach you to pass the exam, Waz ensures you understand how to teach in real dive centers.
🔹 Environmental Advocate – Teaching in Gili Air’s marine park means you’ll learn how to integrate conservation into every course.
🔹 Patient & Supportive – Whether you’re a new Divemaster or an experienced pro, Waz adapts his teaching to your needs.
Waz doesn’t just train instructors—he mentors future dive professionals who will excel in the industry.
The Oceans 5 IDC Difference: What Sets Us Apart?
Most IDC centers follow a standardized, exam-focused approach, but at Oceans 5, we believe in building instructors who can thrive in real dive operations. Here’s how we do it differently:
1. Real-World Teaching Techniques (No Reteaching Needed!)
Many new instructors struggle when they start working because their IDC only prepared them for the exam, not real students. At Oceans 5, we:
✔ Simulate real dive center scenarios – You’ll practice teaching actual students, not just role-playing.
✔ Focus on problem-solving – Learn how to handle nervous divers, difficult conditions, and unexpected challenges.
✔ Teach you to adapt – No two students are the same, so we train you to customize your approach.
Result? When you start working, you won’t need extra training—you’ll be ready from day one.
2. Environmental Awareness: Teaching in a Marine Park
Gili Air is part of a protected marine park, meaning conservation is at the heart of everything we do. Unlike IDC centers in artificial training environments, we teach you:
How to conduct eco-friendly dives – Minimizing impact on coral reefs.
Integrating marine conservation into courses – Teaching students to be responsible divers.
Avoiding harmful practices – No touching reefs, proper buoyancy control, and sustainable dive operations.
You won’t just be an instructor—you’ll be an ambassador for the ocean.
3. Free Instructor Internship: Gain Real Experience
Most IDC graduates struggle to find work because they lack real teaching experience. At Oceans 5, we offer a free internship after your IDC, where you’ll:
🔹 Assist real courses (Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, etc.).
🔹 Get feedback from experienced instructors.
🔹 Build confidence in real teaching situations.
This hands-on experience makes you more employable and ensures you’re ready for any dive center.
4. Small Class Sizes & Personalized Training
Unlike big IDC factories that pack 20+ candidates into a room, Oceans 5 keeps classes small and focused. This means:
✅ More one-on-one time with Waz.
✅ Better feedback on your teaching.
✅ A more relaxed, effective learning environment.
5. Spacious Facilities for Comfortable Training
Our dedicated IDC classroom is large and well-equipped, and we have two spacious training pools for confined water sessions. No cramped spaces—just comfortable, effective learning.
6. Quality Over Quantity: Our Philosophy
Many dive shops prioritize certifications over quality, leading to rushed courses and poorly trained divers. At Oceans 5, we believe:
🔹 Good divers = Happy divers who keep diving.
🔹 Rushing certifications leads to unsafe, unsatisfied divers.
🔹 Investing in quality training pays off in the long run.
We don’t just make instructors—we create dive professionals who will succeed in the industry.
