own future students!
The PADI IDC program at Trawangan Dive runs every month at
Trawangan Dive; the first ever established PADI 5 Star IDC Career Development
Center (CDC) in the Gili Islands and in fact the entire Lombok region. The dive
center is currently the only PADI CDC Center situated in Gili Trawangan and
therefore offers our candidates the best possible facilities available within
the industry.
Before becoming a PADI Course Director Holly spent the last

cost. Although the pre study workshops is not compulsory it is strongly
recommended and allows candidates to make a smooth transition into the program.
As well as the mandatory course syllabus student will also gain valuable
techniques in student control, dive site setup and much more.
The course is conducted entirely by in house Platinum PADI

I'm mainly wondered what you did to get in shape, what your fitness level was before you started to get into shape, etc. in order to pass the Watermanship module for the PADI Divemaster program. To give you an idea about me, I normally am not physically active due to how much time college takes, however, I've recently started to work out again in the last week or so. I'm currently a PADI Open Water diver and it sucked hard passing the swim test for that class; our instructor gave us a break and only made us swim 100 meters, and I was sucking air by the time we were done with that (although to be fair, I was already out of breath from carrying the 2 tanks & other gear a ridiculous distance from the parking lot as the pool we trained in was at the college and an eighth of a mile away from the damn parking lot).
