Avoid the Crowds – Choose Quality: Join the PADI Instructor Development Course at Oceans 5 Gili Air

PADI IDC Indonesia | Oceans 5 Gili Air

If you're dreaming of becoming a PADI Instructor but dreading the idea of crowded classrooms, chaotic pool sessions, and being just another number in a long line of candidates, it’s time to rethink your choice of dive center. The PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) at Oceans 5 Gili Air offers a refreshing alternative — a personal, focused, and professional pathway to becoming a dive instructor in one of Indonesia’s most beautiful marine parks.

Small Groups, Big Impact

At Oceans 5 Gili Air, quality always comes before quantity. That’s why every PADI IDC is limited to a maximum of six candidates. Unlike other centers where large group sizes can result in limited instructor interaction, here every candidate receives dedicated, personal attention from start to finish. This allows our experienced Course Directors to tailor the program to the individual needs and learning styles of each candidate.

Whether you're confident in the water but need help structuring briefings, or you're academically strong but want to improve your in-water control skills, we identify your specific development areas early in the program. Then we help you improve, step by step, until you're not only ready to pass the Instructor Examination — but fully prepared to lead real PADI courses in the real world.

This Is Not a Box-Ticking Exercise

Too often, IDCs become mechanical processes — tick the boxes, pass the evaluations, move on. But that’s not how it works at Oceans 5 Gili Air. Our philosophy is simple: we don’t just prepare you to pass the PADI Instructor Examination — we prepare you to teach.

You’ll learn realistic, environmentally responsible teaching techniques, especially suited to our location in the Gili Matra Marine Park, where minimizing impact on marine life is essential. We don’t teach students to kneel on the bottom — we teach instructors how to train students to hover confidently and maintain neutral buoyancy, even on their first ocean dive.

The Bonus: A Free 2–3 Week Instructor Internship

As a final polish, Oceans 5 Gili Air offers a 2–3 week free instructor internship to all our IDC graduates. Once you’ve passed the PADI Instructor Examination, you’ll have the chance to shadow and assist real courses — from Open Water to Advanced and even Rescue Diver programs — under the guidance of our seasoned, in-house instructors.

This hands-on experience is invaluable. You’ll gain practical confidence, discover your own teaching style, and receive constructive feedback in a supportive, team-oriented environment. For many of our candidates, this internship is the moment where everything clicks — when theory turns into real-world application, and they truly become instructors.
