Komodo Divemaster Indi from Jakarta now a Scuba Diving Instructor with Multiple Award Winning Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod and the IDC Indonesia in the Gili’s


Meet Indi from Jakarta who is now a professional PADI scuba diving instructor. Indi is originally from Jakarta but is now happily based in Gili Trawangan.



Until recently Indi was an engineering student but has been a diver for several years, mainly diving on family holidays or trips within Indonesia. Last year he decided to take the plunge an on his gap year between University and a Master’s degree he chose to try life as a dive professional. 

Indi chose the renowned diving area of Komodo for his PADI Divemaster training and gained fantastic experience learning the challenging currents and conditions that the National Park is famous for. He worked as a DM for several months before being offered the chance to try a different environment and gain experience working within a more training oriented dive operation so moved to Blue Marlin Trawangan. Indi is a naturally sociable guy and loves to interact with his customers so teaching was the natural next step for him. Indi than decided to take the PADI IDC Gili Islands with Multiple Award Winning Triple Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod.

Though a little nervous, particularly about the dive theory and PADI standards in English, Indi was keen to take his PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). To help, he chose to take part in our IDC preparation workshop which is essentially an extended work shop conducted over several days to help candidates with language concerns to get a thorough understanding of dive theory.  He was also able to use this time to participate in Standards workshops, skill circuit practice and to refresh his rescue skills under the supervision of our Course Director and Staff Instructors.
Although Indi is a massive fan of Diving in Komodo and the PADI IDC Indonesia is over, he has chosen to stay in the Gili Islands to work with Blue Marlin Dive allowing him to earn some good money whilst gaining experience from other Instructors within this busy dive shop.

The Gili Islands PADI IDC Program takes place every single month at the only PADI 5 Star IDC Career Development Center (CDC) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia offering world class training facilities at the highest possible standards. The program is entirely conducted by Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod, who has a massive amount of industry experience within the diving industry and offers the very best instructor level training experience available.
