Successful IDC Gili Island year


Successful IDC Gili Islands year!




The last PADI IDC Gili Islands is over. It was a successful PADI IDC Gili Islands year at dive resort Oceans 5 Gili Air.



It was the first time in the history of PADI Career Development Center Oceans 5 that it conducted 10 PADI instructor courses a year. And it was a success that we will continue in the next couple of years.

PADI Course Directors, Joeri, Assar and Sander made it all possible. They achieved a brilliant passing rate of 100% for their candidates. Even passing is not the major goal and for sure not the philosophy of Oceans 5. Oceans 5 likes to make confident, good educated instructors.

The next PADI Instructor Development course at Oceans 5 starts the 14th of January. PADI Course Director will be Joeri van Hal. He will be supported by an experienced PADI IDC team. The IDC will be conducted in English, but we support the following languages: Dutch, French, German and Spanish. Oceans 5 has all teaching materials available in these languages.
