PADI Divemaster & Instructor Internship’s | Trawangan Dive | PADI Career Development Center – IDC Gili Islands, Indonesia



Taking the PADI Divemaster or even PADI IDC Gili Islands here in Gili Trawangan is the perfect choice when starting a professional dive career. Gili Trawangan itself is a small island situated off the coast of Lombok. Surrounded by palm trees and fringing coral it is the perfect place to relax and dive. Dive schools in Gili Trawangan are well established and have a good reputation for training.

Trawangan Dive is one of the larger dive centers on the Island and therefore is a great place to start a professional diving career. The staff at Trawangan Dive are highly professional and well-seasoned and of course due to the sheer volume of customers the dive center provides a wealth of experience to Divemaster Trainee’s and New PADI Instructors. As the first established PADI Career Development Center in the Gili Islands and having a platinum rated PADI Course Director, it is the perfect way to become a true PADI professional.

The PADI Divemaster course is the first professional level within the PADI System of diver education and allows you to work as a training assistant on PADI courses and programs, supervise certified divers during pleasure diving experiences, and conduct some PADI programs independently.
To become a PADI Divemaster you will need to fulfill a range of knowledge development topics, practical applications and of course the PADI Divemaster final exams. Through our practical segments of the Divemaster course, you become well prepared to work as a PADI Divemaster and begin a career in recreational scuba diving.

To enroll on the PADI Divemaster Course you must be at least 18 years old, have a current medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months, be a PADI Rescue or hold qualifying certifications from another dive training organization. You must also have completed an Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary and Secondary Care course (or an alternative approved first aid and CPR course) within the past 24 months and be able to prove that you have completed at least 40 dives. By the end of the program 60 logged dives are required for certification which must include deep, night and navigation dives

The PADI Instructor Development Course is run over a period of 11 days and potential candidates are strongly advised to arrive a minimum of 4 days in advance to take part in the Pre-IDC Training Workshops.
