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. The find out more about the program check out the reviews
