highly experienced PADI scuba diving instructors. Professional level divers
will find the very best of world class facilities on offer creating the perfect

industry and having worked in a multitude of dive related work roles in many of
the international diving destinations around the world she is perfectly

opportunities and what to expect from potential positions within specific geographical
locations. During the program there are a number of unique workshops which have
been designed in accordance with her extensive experience to enhance the
quality of training provide and to add some additional information to help new

Online Systems; therefore looking a everything from looking at the online
classifieds to certifying students through the PADI PIC online system
DSD Conduct and Conduct workshop are included in the PADI IDC Syllabus, but during the program this will be extended allowing candidates to practice methods of conducting the Discover Scuba Diving Program in the safest possible way whilst providing the best possible underwater experience.
Additional workshops include dive site set up and management
workshops, student control workshops which are designed to teach candidates how
to set up their training site to conduct the particular program they wish to
teach. For example taking a Discover Scuba Diving Participant on an underwater
experience requires a different setup and procedure than dive 1 of the Open
Water Course where the students are still entering Open Water for the first
time. Similarly, Advanced Open Water Diver Students are more experienced and
therefore require an entirely new setup, procedure and conduct. These PADI IDC Indonesia Workshops are
conducted in a dry format on the beach and in Open Water.
PADI are always updating the various core components of the syllabus
and the latest update is with the Adventures in Diving Program, which is now replaced
with the new Advanced Course. During the course in the Gili Islands, candidates
will learn aspects of both the old and the new course. Find out more about the
