by the PADI curriculum as well as many additional components which have been
added to the course and are designed to enhance the learning experience in a
fun and enjoyable way whilst providing the best possible support to candidates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EIyXFCqDDPSkWuZDGxYI1ei1gAKs-e3sDQHzUuHkqwBw_LFtSd8l_FYgwcxEKLnFtaBzF1z65YVfimPu8TYFDr99VZhOnYq7O-nZ5O5LmeW8tuc99Lns4NBnzQAWVhz4SIxBCGEgG38/s1600/dry6b.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EIyXFCqDDPSkWuZDGxYI1ei1gAKs-e3sDQHzUuHkqwBw_LFtSd8l_FYgwcxEKLnFtaBzF1z65YVfimPu8TYFDr99VZhOnYq7O-nZ5O5LmeW8tuc99Lns4NBnzQAWVhz4SIxBCGEgG38/s200/dry6b.gif" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The student control workshops are designed to prepare
candidates to always be in full control of their students and looks into
various ways to achieve this allowing new instructors to be able to adapt their
personal training techniques for various conditions and situations whilst
providing the best possible training that you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The dive site setup workshops are designed to give instructors
an insight on how to best use a training site for various programs. This
component of the course is closely linked with student control and how an instructor
can use a training site to have the ultimate control over their own students.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6hjJ044ob7egBjvjaj6thhQGiNYXZrVlPpPEjzTEHE0Sof3AnmXXdeQHC4ONcVErJl2ZMxhBSkZ__3VPnKBr776bBEEQAKJECWEgt8ad5bGx82_ncXIALAlc4I88z8CfaSL3zlsxikQ/s1600/sept-class-8b.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6hjJ044ob7egBjvjaj6thhQGiNYXZrVlPpPEjzTEHE0Sof3AnmXXdeQHC4ONcVErJl2ZMxhBSkZ__3VPnKBr776bBEEQAKJECWEgt8ad5bGx82_ncXIALAlc4I88z8CfaSL3zlsxikQ/s200/sept-class-8b.gif" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another new workshop that has now been absorbed into the
program is the PADI Online Workshop which is designed to introduce PADI online
and its functions. Candidates will learn how to process their own
certifications and review some of the other functions of the PADI website such
as the dive check, classifieds, updates, training bulletins and more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2F_YzyTX51_yQpT_RookDp7FUspzu_EHOsOmHjCqEBtdswzD16ehfFu22-YPMD5MowNMqXuakJCaTmk8y0OLDMjZRyy89F4DQoBqTlt2VYNhkTWGL2KBjmQH1SUXRpqYM7fUwXZBCGs/s1600/dry7b.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2F_YzyTX51_yQpT_RookDp7FUspzu_EHOsOmHjCqEBtdswzD16ehfFu22-YPMD5MowNMqXuakJCaTmk8y0OLDMjZRyy89F4DQoBqTlt2VYNhkTWGL2KBjmQH1SUXRpqYM7fUwXZBCGs/s200/dry7b.gif" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although the PADI IDC Syllabus dictates that candidates
participate in the DSD workshop, an extended DSD workshop will cover how to
conduct the DSD repeat dive in Open Water.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">CESA Workshops are also arranged during the program and
prepare students to be in full control during the Controlled Emergency Swimming
Assent which is one of the most important and challenging skills during entry
level diving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGtmaGWWAXlzdTnTV8FtSH-pYbKXtLP8tW5kReIEo5BgPaEKfXGf0n2d__n5V7RVyxHyiywgLyEI_5h43YFPhcsjtoI2eFhJT_ZbxmJFgnodoP9-rFK7LAb_SkBUDdjMhM2YtugBA9FBg/s1600/group-oct016b.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGtmaGWWAXlzdTnTV8FtSH-pYbKXtLP8tW5kReIEo5BgPaEKfXGf0n2d__n5V7RVyxHyiywgLyEI_5h43YFPhcsjtoI2eFhJT_ZbxmJFgnodoP9-rFK7LAb_SkBUDdjMhM2YtugBA9FBg/s200/group-oct016b.gif" width="200" /></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Again the CESA workshop is closely linked to dive site setup
and student control, but this time the student is moving vertically. During
workshops various techniques are introduced to allow the Instructor candidate
have the perfect control of their future students.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In fact Holly Macleod is consistently developing new
training techniques to pass onto her candidates and developing these techniques
into workshop type exercises. The program is offered every month and benefits
from the extensive experience of Multi Award Winning Platinum PADI Course
Director Holly Macleod who conducts the entire program. Holly, having extensive
experience working in a various dive related jobs in multitude of international
diving destinations is perfectly place to offer new instructors the post IDC
support when looking at particular job opening in worldwide destinations.</span></div>

many candidates stay on to continue their education and how much support Course
Directors can offer in terms of career development after the IDC. The Frequent

with no verified Quality Management violations within 12 months of the date that
the award will be presented, and issue 50, 100, 150, 200 or 300 qualifying

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Platinum Award denotes not only the pure experience of a
PADI Course Director, but an overall commitment to PADI professional training.
This year the rating has been awarded to 58 Course Directors worldwide and only
25 PADI Course Directors in the Asia Pacific Region qualified for the rating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So what does this mean for the Instructor Candidate? Of
course it means that you are not only benefiting directly from the experience
of the PADI Course Director’s; having trained many of the instructors within
the region, you are also benefiting from the regional network and any work
opportunities that may arise through the network. Another major benefit is that
our philosophy is train instructors beyond the level generally expected within
industry and Holly is able to not only train candidates to the level expected
to score highly on the PADI Instructor Exam, but to go on and build an
extremely rewarding and successful career within the industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As well as being awarded the Platinum rating for this year
we have also been awarded the PADI “Commitment to Instructor Development Award”
which defines all of the PADI Instructor level training programs offered by our
Platinum PADI Course Director as some of the very best professional level
courses available within the Asia Pacific region.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The PADI IDC Indonesia program offers 10 courses a year on

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Are you looking for a dream job? Why not consider a career
teaching recreational PADI scuba diving courses? As a PADI Instructor you will
get the chance to train, guide and develop divers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At Trawangan Dive this dream can become a reality. We run
instructor courses every month training people to go out into the industry and literally
“live the dream”, teaching their own PADI programs and developing the next
generation of divers. The prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course is
to have been a certified diver for over 6 months, be a certified PADI
Divemaster with 100 logged dives and be over 18 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The course consists of classroom based knowledge development
sessions where you learn all of the standards and procedures that apply to each
individual PADI program and in water workshops where you will work with your
fellow candidates developing you own individual teaching style. Additionally
there will be theory sessions, risk management workshops and sales and
marketing presentations. We also offer some additional IDC Gili Trawangan
Workshops, which aim to introduce the new Revised Open Water Diver Course to
our IDC candidates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once a PADI Instructor candidates can expect to go into the
industry with confidence and “teach the world to dive”, and literally “live the
dream”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instructors will be looking at
positions in some of the most beautiful locations worldwide giving them a chance
to earn whist travelling the world and of course introducing people to the
underwater environment and a whole new world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will go on to the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) and learn to adequately
deliver the full range of PADI programs. Our PADI IDC Course is taught over the
length of 11 days with a recommended 4 days of pre-IDC prep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trawangan Dive is certainly the place to take your
professional level PADI training. We are the only PADI Career Development

requirements and to higher standard than is generally expected within industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of our previous Instructor candidates have gone on to

course. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All it take is a short stroll around Gili Trawangan talking
to the various Instructors to find out about the PADI IDC program here at
Trawangan Dive and how its transformed their lives and given them a brand new
career with the knowledge and confidence to pass on the PADI education system,

Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI Specialty Course offered and there
are many reasons for that. Apart from the obvious reason of wishing to extend
dive time and reduce surface interval time, customers here at Trawangan Dive often
book an Enriched air course because they are planning a Livaboard trip with one
of our affiliate Livaboard operations in Komodo or elsewhere and would rather
take full advantage of the trip. Other reasons for using Enriched Air could be
when diving on wrecks and in fact Trawangan Dive is one of only two dive
centers here in the Gili Islands that are able to dive the Japanese Wreck in
Lombok. Deep diving experiences may often be hampered by diving with a normal air
mix due to the limited decompression time available and of course nitrox will
allow a longer bottom time and therefore increase the experience for that
particular dive. Enriched Air diving is also common amongst photographers who
tend to make several long repetitive dives. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The PADI IDC here in the Gili Islands offers the ten days
PADI Instructor Development Course in 10 days, with an additional 4 days pre
IDC preparation. We operate alongside two of the most established PADI 5 Star
IDC centers in the Gili Islands, one of which being the only PADI Career
Development Centers in the entire Lombok and Gili region.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The current course is priced at 950 Euro and includes the
EFRI course. Of course Instructor Specialties can be purchased at an additional
cost as can the MSDT preparation package.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">However over the course of 2014 we are aiming to offer a
range of PADI career packages that will help to enhance candidate’s prospects.
Working in conjunction with our 5 dive centers across the Gili Islands and our
exclusive Komodo livaboard, we will be aiming to develop a series of career
enhancing packages including a team teaching certification internship program,
allowing PADI Instructors to gain real life experiences whilst building up and
acceptable number of student certifications. Of course this can be done in
conjunction with a variety of technical diving options, or combined with first-hand
experience on board our Komodo livaboard diving some of the best and most
challenging conditions available in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of course these options will not be implemented immediately,
as we wish to provide the most beneficial packages for the instructors as
possible allowing them to develop the best possible career prospects. However
we are fully able to implement a program of this type and for the moment will
be offering our combination courses on a strictly personal basis, so if it
sound like something you may be interested in contact our PADI Course Director
to discuss your personal career option.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We will also be raising the cost of our IDC program during
the course of 2014 to reflect the high level of quality and the experience of
our PADI Course Director, but we will also be including a range of specialty
options aimed at developing your career potential.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s great to welcome our candidates from such a diverse
range of countries. Not only is it a chance for the candidates to make friends
from all over the world it is a chance for them to take the first step in
establishing their professional scuba network. Many people who take the IDC
stay in touch long after the course has finished and well into their scuba
diving careers. Therefore this is a great opportunity for the IDC candidates to
increase the social network and learn more about diving in other parts of the
world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you’re looking to take a professional PADI dive program
than Trawangan Dive is now the place to do it. Trawangan Dive has long been one
of the few PADI 5 star dive centers in The Gili Islands, Indonesia. During 2013
we have set out improving all of our professional level courses and programs,
so as to set ourselves above the rest; providing professional level training
over and above that required within industry. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our Instructor Development Course has also been completely
revamped over the course of 2013 and again our schedule has been modified in a
way to provide some of the best PADI instructors in industry. Over the course
of 2013 Trawangan Dive has been reclassified as a PADI Career Development
Centre (CDC) meaning that we now provide the highest level of professional dive
training available and are pleased to say the only PADI CDC Center in the
Lombok region. We have also now employed a two new PADI Course Directors who

industry and its expectations. Our MSDT program now offers the full range of
specialties and can be tailored to those which you will require for industry in

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Over the course of 2013 Trawangan Dive as achieved many of
its long term goals and has been subsequently rewarded for the efforts. However
this opens up a whole new area of potential development for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although we have already increased the amount of
accommodation options available to our guests we have also seen a huge increase
in the number guests taking diving programs and therefore our accommodation
facilities have followed suite and there is now a need for further expansion.
Trawangan Dive will be increasing the amount of onsite luxury bungalows to
accommodate our continued popularity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although Trawangan Dive provide the full range of
recreational dive courses, we have seen an increase in customers asking about
technical dive programs and therefore have identified this as an area of
potential expansion. Over 2013 we have seen record numbers of recreational
divers taking PADI programs and therefore have had seen a slight negative
affect on the technical division of the dive center. In the future Trawangan
Dive wishes to expand it technical dive division to accommodate those divers
wishing to take their training to a new level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As with the professional level courses we have seen record
numbers of divers choosing to take our PADI Divemaster Program here at
Trawangan Dive. Throughout 2013 the PADI Divemaster Program has been
continuously monitored and we will continue to do so in the future, allowing
divemasters in training to receive the latest and most up to date training
needs whilst also getting a real life taste of working within one of the
busiest and best dive centers in Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our Instructor training facility has gone through a number
of changes during 2013; all our training facilities and course content has been
overhauled and we have developed a close working relationship with PADI
allowing us to make sure instructor candidates are not only kept fully up to
date with training updates but also kept fully up to date with the ever
changing nature of the industry. We intend to carry on providing the best
professional and non-professional training possible making Trawangan Dive the
only real choice when it comes to serious scuba diving training.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Trawangan Dive is extremely proud of its achievements
during 2013. We hosted the Gili Trawangan Finathon Event earlier in the year
and managed to raise well over $7500 which we decided to split between the Gili
Eco Trust and Project AWARE. The Gili Eco Trust represents the island and runs
regular environmental programs. Project AWARE is more concerned with the
protection of marine species such as endangered shark species. Due to this and
our many other environmental awareness programs we were awarded the
classification of 100% AWARE dive center. As a 100% AWARE partner we </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">support a clean, healthy ocean by making a donation on

AWARE version of your PADI certification card and be part of a movement of
divers protecting our ocean planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">During 2013 Indonesia as a whole has seen more family
holiday makers visiting the country and therefore the Gili Islands have become
the perfect island getaway. Trawangan Dive has noticed this trend and has
therefore upped its game in terms of accommodation needs and scuba diving
programs aimed at families with young children.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In terms of accommodation we have always offered the
backpacker rooms as well as our luxury chalet style bungalows which are
situated on site surrounded by our lush tropical gardens. Over the course of 2013
we have experienced more families with young children and have noticed more
families seeking a more tailor made villa style holiday experience, so
therefore we have expanded our range of choices in terms of family orientated
accommodation rentals. It’s never been easier to book your villa on Gili Trawangan,
simply email your details the Trawangan Dive “Exclusive Villas” department (</span><a href="http://www.trawangandive.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.trawangandive.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">) and give them
your details and requirements. The Trawangan Dive accommodation team will do
the rest and find you the perfect place to enjoy you vacation with the family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have also noticed a huge increase in the numbers of
families wishing to take part in diving programs and therefore have taken the
necessary steps to ensure families receive the best possible experience and
have also built a brand new luxury family villa in the resort directly next to
our dive shop allowing families to fully immerse themselves in the dive
schedule whilst at the same time to be able to make full use of their beachside
villa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The rise in families taking dive programs and activities has
also prompted us to review the facilities available to young divers, and over
the course of 2013 we have taken every step to ensure the safety, satisfaction
and overall enjoyment of our programs. Our staff have been fully trained in and
briefed in the education and care of PADI junior divers. Our facilities have also
endured a complete makeover; having retiled our entire onsite training pool and
upgraded our range of equipment for children. Trawangan Dive has received
multiple trip advisor reviews from families all over the globe and is looking forward
to welcoming more families in the coming years. So if you’re looking to take a
family vacation and experience the true wonders of our tropical island and our
magnificent ocean, the journey starts here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Meet Sian Williams, Trawangan Dive’s very own Éco Warrior’.<span> </span>Sian came to <a href="http://www.trawangandive.com/" target="_blank">Trawangan Dive</a> in March 2012 to
take part in a 2 week <a href="http://www.trawangandive.com/diving-and-courses-at-trawangan-dive-gili-trawangan/trawangan-dive-reef-restoration-program-on-gili-trawangan-lombok-indonesia.html" target="_blank">Biorock programme</a>.<span>
</span>Naturally, she fell in love with the Island, the Dive Centre (and the
staff). <span> </span>She also saw Delphine Robbe , (Gili
Trawangan’s original Éco Warrior’), struggling to single-handedly maintain the
island’s growing <a href="http://www.biorock-workshop.org/" target="_blank">Biorock</a>, population, control the marine debris, while keeping
the island clean of rubbish, and more recently, being a mum.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sian made the decision to dedicate her life, (or the next
few years of it anyway), to helping with the marine conservation of our tiny
island. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sian is based out of Trawangan Dive. <span> </span>She is a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, and
can also teach the PADI ‘Introduction to Biorock process'speciality.<span>
</span>She dedicates her time to maintaining the Biorocks, running regular
beach clean ups, dives against debris, reef check, reef gardening, island clean
ups, and generally cleaning up after the thousands of people that pollute Gili
Trawangan and the surrounding reefs with non-biodegradable plastic, cigarette
butts, glass, flip flops, lighters, light bulbs, fishing line, and fish hooks.</span></span></div>

Biorock, then another one breaks, or gets unplugged, or is destroyed by a

<br />
<em>Corina joined the team at Trawangan Dive a few months ago, after
doing her PADI Divemaster and PADI Instructor Development Course with
us. As well as being a semi-permanent fixture at any party at the Irish
bar, she’s also keeps guests entertained with her quick humour and funny
stories. We love her to bits and hope she never leaves!</em><br />
<em> </em>
<br />
<strong>Tell us about yourself Corina..</strong><br />
<br />
Young, sexy, big boobs, nice bum. That kind of sums it up!<br />
<br />
<strong>Quite! Ermm.. anything else?</strong><br />
<br />
I’m from Switzerland, I’m 21 years old and I speak English, German,
Italian and a weird local dialect called Romanch. There are only 15,000
people that speak it. So super useful.<br />
<br />
<strong>How did you end up on the island?</strong><br />
<br />
I was on a bus in Bali at 6am and I met Sarah one of the dive
instructors at Trawangan Dive. She seemed really friendly and she knew I
was on my way to Gili Trawangan. She basically dragged me to the dive
shop.<br />
<br />
<strong>Had you been here before?</strong><br />
<br />
No. But I heard about it from a best friend who visited it two years ago. It sounded like a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
<strong>How long have you now been here for?</strong><br />
<br />
Since May last year .. almost one and half years.<br />
<br />
<strong>What made you decide to stay?</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I originally came to do some fun dives. But Sarah, with her great
sales technique, sold me the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.
After one week and lots of diving, I tried to leave. My boat and flight
to Singapore were booked. After a big night out at a snorkel test, and a
little encounter with one of the Divemaster trainees, I was ready to
leave, bags packed and everything. I paid my bill. But Adam, Sarah’s
boyfriend and also a great salesman, told me to stay and to do my PADI
Divemaster.<br />
<br />
A group of friends at the dive centre then created a pros and cons
list on the whiteboard. The pros list for staying was much longer (of
course) and so I decided to stay. The boat, by that point, had left
anyway. I crawled back into my room and started my PADI Rescue Diver
course the following day. The course lasted ten days because I was in no
rush and it was so much fun.<br />
<br />
<strong>Do you remember your PADI Divemaster course or is it all a blur?!</strong><br />
<br />
At that point, my English wasn’t so great and it took me a long time
to read the books and study for my exams. My mentor helped me though.
Otherwise, it was great fun. I learnt so much and did almost a hundred
dives during the course. This was invaluable for when I became an
instructor.<br />
<br />
<strong>Did this mess up plans you might have had at home?</strong><br />
<br />
Totally. I was meant to study Geography. I went home after my
Divemaster course. I was depressed and cried a lot and I didn’t want to
see my friends. I started university but quit two weeks later because I
couldn’t be bothered. My heart wasn’t in it. I booked a one way ticket
back to Indonesia with the intention of staying for a few months.<br />
<br />
<strong>And then you did your PADI Instructor Development Course!</strong><br />
<br />
Admittedly, I was a bit of a star student because I had done my PADI
Divemaster training at Trawangan Dive and all the others had done theirs
at different dive centres. It made me realize what a high standard we
have here.<br />
<br />
<strong>What was your diving experience before coming to the island?</strong><br />
<br />
I did my PADI Open Water Diver course when 14 in Egypt. When I
arrived on Gili Trawangan, I had about 20 dives. As well as Egypt, I’d
also dived in Australia and Turkey.<br />
<br />
<strong>What are you doing now?</strong><br />
<br />
Sitting in the office all day and drinking coffee!<br />
<br />
I occasionally teach but my main job is now Marketing Manager. I’m
responsible for administration of the accommodation at Trawangan Dive. I
organize bookings, and travel arrangements for people and make sure all
of the rooms are looking lovely.<br />
<br />
<strong>What are your plans for the future?</strong><br />
<br />
Taking over the world. Why not! I’m staying for a while. It’s very
difficult to leave. I hope to teach some more. Party some more. Find a
rich husband. You know, what every girl dreams of…<br />

<em>Trawangan Dive is proud to be hosting part of the 2012 Biorock
training workshop. It will bring professional coral restoration experts
and lecturers into the classroom to engage participants in all aspects
of coral reef restoration using the definitive Biorock method.</em><br />
<em> </em>
<br />
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the world’s oceans. Just like
their earthly counterparts, they occur in tropical and sub tropical
environments and support a huge variety of species. They are also
diminishing at an alarming rate.<br />
<br />
<strong>Decline of the Great Barrier Reef</strong><br />
<br />
A study published just a few weeks ago revealed that Australia’s
Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half its coral cover in the past
27 years. Researchers analysed data on the condition of 217 individual
reefs that make up the World Heritage Site. The results show that coral
cover declined from 28.0% to 13.8% between 1985 and 2012. They attribute
the decline to storms, a coral-feeding starfish and bleaching linked to
climate change.<br />
<br />
<strong>Asia’s Coral Triangle is also under threat </strong><br />
<br />
Another report has warned that more than 85 percent of reefs in
Asia’s Coral Triangle are directly threatened by human activities such
as coastal development, pollution and overfishing. Launched at the
International Coral Reef Symposium in Cairns, it said the threat was
substantially more than the global average of 60 percent and urged
greater efforts to reduce destructive fishing and run-off from land.<br />
<br />
“When these threats are combined with recent coral bleaching,
prompted by rising ocean temperatures, the percent of reefs rated as
threatened increases to more than 90 percent,” the report said.<br />
<br />
The Coral Triangle covers Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the
Philippines, The Solomon Islands, and East Timor and contains nearly 30
percent of the world’s reefs and more than 3,000 species of fish.<br />
<br />
<strong>Marine biologists are trying reverse the trend</strong><br />
<br />
Marine biologists across the world are desperately trying to protect
our remaining reefs. Some are building repositories of the known coral
species so that future generations can at least get to see them in
aquariums. Others are constructing artificial reefs in areas of
significant damage.<br />
<br />
<strong>Biorock method yields quick results</strong><br />
<br />
The biorock method was developed by architect and marine scientist
Wolf Hilbertz and marine biologist Tom Goreau. They found that by
running a small electrical current through a structure in seawater, a
hard shell of calcium carbonate would form on the cathode. You could
then attach small pieces of natural coral to the structure. The corals
seemed to love these substrates, achieving growth rates often five times
faster than normal.<br />
<br />
<strong>Gili Trawangan – a paradise under threat</strong><br />
<br />
Gili Trawangan is one of three tiny coral atolls off the coast of
Lombok, Indonesia. It is increasingly a compulsory side trip to any Bali
holiday, thanks to its white beaches, diving and snorkelling sites and
absence of motor vehicles.<br />
<br />
The Gili Islands are dependent on a healthy marine habitat for their
fisheries, tourism, shore protection and marine biodiversity. This
habitat has been largely damaged by combinations of coral heatstroke,
disease, storms, global sea level rise, over-fishing and direct physical
damage from destructive fishing practices, boats, anchors and tourists.<br />
<br />
Without large-scale restoration of degraded habitats to make them
capable of supporting larger fish and shellfish populations, there will
be fewer fish in the future.<br />
<br />
And without healthy growing corals, there will be fewer beaches or tourism income, affecting all business owners on the island.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tourist attraction</strong><br />
<br />
“Right now we around 60 biorock structures around this island,” says
Delphine Robbe. “By the end of this year, we should have one hundred.”
Since coming to Gili Trawangan in 2005 with a plan to get her PADI
Divemaster certification, this Frenchwoman has become the driving force
behind the island’s many eco programmes.<br />
<br />
Besides stimulating biodiversity, the Biorock structures also combat
beach erosion, which became a serious problem with the destruction of
the natural reefs. Increasingly, they are an attraction for tourists
too. Divers and snorkelers can now see underwater sculptures of a manta
ray, trident, dolphin, turtle, octopus, snake, moon and even a komodo
dragon.<br />
<br />
<strong>2012 Biorock training workshop</strong><br />
<br />
Gili Trawangan is proud to be hosting the 2012 Biorock training
workshop. It will bring professional coral restoration experts and
lecturers into the classroom to engage participants in all aspects of
coral reef restoration using the definitive Biorock method.<br />
<br />
Workshop sessions will cover all aspects of theory and practice
including design, construction, installation, monitoring, maintenance
and repair of Biorock sites. Additional lectures will cover the basic
principles of coral reef ecology, threats to coral reefs, and
environmental restoration.<br />
<br />
Over the course of the seven day workshop, participants will have the
opportunity to use their knowledge as they plan and invoke all the
steps involved in constructing, deploying and populating Biorock
structures with coral fragments.<br />
<br />
After accomplishing the Biorock workshop, certified PADI instructors
can apply to PADI to be able to teach the PADI Distinctive Specialty:
Introduction to Biorock process.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Pick up any diving magazine or surf the web for dive related
websites, and you’ll find lots of images taken in exotic destinations
combined with interactions with aquatic life. In certain people, this
often stimulates the dream of working full time as a dive professional.<br />
<br />
There are few professions in the world where you can spend a Monday
morning commuting to your work place on a boat, enjoying beautiful
weather with customers who admire you for the job you do.<br />
<br />
<b>You’ll never forget your first breath</b><br />
<br />
Most divers never forget their first breath underwater during their
initial confined water training. For the majority of scuba participants,
the entry level certification opens a whole new world. For some, it
creates the dream and goal of becoming a scuba diving professional.<br />
<br />
<b>Build your self esteem</b><br />
<br />
Scuba diving is a sport that builds self esteem and improves physical
fitness. It also creates an environmental awareness and shows
individuals how to make a positive contribution to the aquatic world.<br />
<br />
Unlike many other sports, scuba diving is non-contact,
three-dimensional and multi sensory. The competition is with each
individual to better themselves as a diver, not over others. Whilst
many divers enjoy the silence and serenity of the underwater world,
scuba diving is also a very social activity and fosters camaraderie
amongst participants and leads to lifelong friendships.<br />
<br />
<b>You’ll make a positive difference </b><br />
<br />
As a scuba diving professional, you get to make a positive difference
to other people’s lives and to the environment. Whether an individual
seeks scuba instruction to learn about the environment, as a self
fulfilment goal or to challenge themselves, you become a facilitator and
help them dive safely and have enjoyable experiences.<br />
<br />
<b>The PADI system of education</b><br />
<br />
The PADI system of diver education has some of the most comprehensive
educational products. It’s a system that enables the instructor to work
more on individualized instruction as most students are free to learn
at their own pace.<br />
<br />
This allows for you as the instructor to focus on individual needs,
remediation and delivering the course in a fun and effective manner.<br />
<br />
These materials can be used anywhere in the world to teach a
standardized course. However, the instructor will need to adapt each
course to the local environment and culture, which is something you will
be taught to do.<br />
<br />
<b>Work wherever you choose</b><br />
<br />
PADI instructors can choose to work part or full time in tropical
resorts or local dive centres. Many instructors also have their own
full time jobs and work in their spare time or weekends as either
freelance instructors or through a local PADI dive centre.<br />
<br />
In the resort environment many instructors enjoy teaching on tropical
islands in warm waters on beautiful coral reefs with an abundance of
fish and other aquatic life. It’s obviously this dream lifestyle that
motivates many individuals to switch careers.<br />
<br />
<b>Join the tribe – become a PADI Divemaster</b><br />
<br />
There are different methods of completing the Divemaster course; it
can be done through a local dive centre, on a part time basis, either
interning on classes or via practical simulated training components.
Many candidates choose to take time out and intern on a program over
several weeks in the tropics, and get real world hands on exposure
whilst training.<br />
<br />
<b>Take the plunge – become a PADI Instructor</b><br />
<br />
The next step after the PADI Divemaster course is to enrol in either
the PADI Assistant Instructor course, or the complete PADI Instructor
Development Course.<br />
<br />
To have the best chances of employment within the dive industry, and
to make a reasonable pay, then the instructor rating is a logical
progression after the Divemaster course.<br />
<br />
<b>What you can teach</b><br />
<br />
As a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, you can conduct introductory
programs such as Discover Snorkelling and Discover Scuba Diving, and
certification courses from the PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open
Water Diver, PADI Rescue Diver and the PADI Divemaster course.<br />
<br />
It is also possible to teach specialty classes such as Enriched
Air/Nitrox, Digital Photography, Deep, Wreck or Fish Identification upon
taking a specialty instructor class or with sufficient experience.<br />
<br />
<b>Sounds amazing! What’s the catch?</b><br />
<br />
PADI instructors seem to have the dream job. They get to work in
exotic locations, they dive for a living, they interact with nature, and
their students look up to them like heroes. In addition, they get paid
for all this.<br />
<br />
But teaching requires a special set of skills including patience,
adaptability, open mindedness and basic business principles in customer
service and marketing.<br />
<br />
Often, the job of a PADI Divemaster or instructor has long hours. It
can require the person to truly multitask and there may be significant
periods without days off.<br />
<br />
However if you talk to an instructor at the end of a bad days work,
the majority would not swap it for anything else in the world.<br />
<br />
<b>It’s not all about the money, money, money</b><br />
<br />
Whilst the job may not have the highest pay scales and most
instructors do not work solely for money, the pay can be enough to allow
good savings after a season. This could be used to finance a flight to
the next destination, purchase new equipment and reinvest in additional
training, or simply to bank.<br />
<br />
If wealth could be measured in job satisfaction, then PADI
instructors would probably be the wealthiest professionals on the
planet, and with a life they could look back on with the biggest of
smiles.<br />
<br />
<b>Branch out and discover new avenues</b><br />
<br />
Many instructors work for a period of a few years teaching recreational classes then advance into more senior positions.<br />
<br />
Friends who I have worked with now hold prominent positions in the
scuba diving industry – from working as PADI Regional Managers, to
owners of live boards, to PADI Course Directors. Others own or manage
dive centres and resorts, and some specialize in technical diving and
exploration.<br />
When I think back to the career path I had originally chosen, in
international financial institutions, I never for one day regret my
choice – where it has taken me, the people I have met, and the memories I
have.<br />

<i>Trawangan Dive’s BioRock Distinctive Specialty Course attracts
divers from around the world who want to work on a long-term project
with a beneficial environmental impact. It is also a very popular choice
for many gap year students. One of our latest arrivals is Pippa, from
the UK. She joined us a few weeks ago and has captivated us all with her
stories, her diving skills and her professional attitude.</i><br />
<i> </i>
<br />
<b>Tell us about yourself Pippa…</b><br />
<br />
I’m an 18 year old originally from Hampshire, United Kingdom but I
now live in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. Yes, where the cheese comes
from! I’m currently on my gap year before starting a BSc in Marine
Biology with Oceanography at Newcastle University next year.<br />
<br />
<b>What made you come to the Gili islands?</b><br />
<br />
I wanted to do something conservation and science-oriented in
preparation for my studies next year. At a gap year event at my school, I
met Ben from Gap Year Divers and he gave me some information about the
Gili islands, Trawangan Dive and the BioRock specialty course. It all
sounded so perfect.<br />
<br />
I’ve been a diver since completing my PADI Junior Open Water Diver at
the age of 10. Since then, diving has been a big part of my life and
I’ve had my sights set on becoming a PADI Divemaster for a long time.<br />
<br />
In addition, some friends had been to the islands before and had
amazed me with stories about the culture, the diving and the parties!<br />
<br />
<b>What are your first impressions of the Gili islands?</b><br />
<br />
I’d never been to this part of the world before – this is by far the
furthest east I’ve been. Everything is so different – the culture,
language and cuisine – but you get used to it very quickly.<br />
<br />
The Gili islands themselves are beautiful. In one word – paradise!
They really are paradise islands, with white sand beaches, swaying palm
trees and crystal clear seas. It’s great that there is no form of
motorized transport allowed – it’s makes for a very peaceful
environment.<br />
<br />
Everyone is so friendly and I’ve felt very welcomed since day one.
The locals are always smiling and greet you whenever you meet them,
even if you’re just walking down the road. It feels a very safe place.<br />
<br />
<b>How are you finding it at Trawangan Dive?</b><br />
<br />
It’s very much a home from home and I felt part of the team straight
away. When we arrived, we were met by Adam, one of the managers, down at
the harbour. He greeted us with a smile and a hug and then bundled us
into a horse cart.<br />
<br />
It only took a few minutes to arrive at Trawangan Dive and I have to
admit I was impressed. It sits right on the beach, overlooking the
crystal waters with Gili Meno on the other side of the channel. It looks
professional, clean and welcoming. Which was a relief because you can
never really tell from looking at pictures on the internet!<br />
<br />
I’ve got everything I need here. The food at the restaurant is
delicious and there’s lots of variety, from English breakfasts to
Mexican fajitas and Indonesia rice dishes. The backpacker rooms are
simple but clean. I’ve got a bunk bed room to myself so I have some
privacy.<br />
<br />
The diving side of things is very well organized and everyone works
together as a team. There are so many nationalities working here –
English, Scottish, Kiwi, Australian, Swiss, German, French, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Tell us about your previous diving experience</b><br />
<br />
My father is a scuba diver and as a family we go to Mauritius every
year for our family holiday. I always really enjoyed snorkelling on the
reefs and when I was 10 years old my father enrolled me in the PADI
Junior Open Water Diver course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even got to
dive with a pod of wild dolphins on my last dive!<br />
<br />
I also completed my PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver in
Mauritius when I was 15 and then my PADI Rescue Diver course back in the
United Kingdom. It was certainly a different experience! I did it at
Vobster Quay, a quarry in the south of England. The water was cold and
murky and there wasn’t an awful lot to see. I had to wear an 11m wetsuit
which is neither comfortable nor flattering!<br />
<br />
In addition to those places, I’ve also dived in the Red Sea and the British Virgin Islands.<br />
<br />
<b>You’re also a PADI Master Scuba Diver! Congratulations!</b><br />
<br />
I’m pretty proud of myself because I worked quite hard for it. I did
most of my PADI specialties including Night Diver, Digital Underwater
Photography, Research Diver and Underwater Naturalist, at a company
called Action Quest in the British Virgin Islands. In addition, I became
an Enriched Air Diver.<br />
<br />
<b>How is the PADI Divemaster course going?</b><br />
<br />
I love it! It’s really broadening my knowledge and giving me a whole
new take on diving. I’m learning to look at dives and divers from a
different perspective.<br />
<br />
I’ve already been assisting on a variety of courses, from Discover
Scuba Diving to Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses. Over the
last few days I’ve also been given the opportunity to play the victim on
a Rescue course. I’ve been getting a lot of the theory done and have
already completed my first theory exam.<br />
<br />
I really appreciate the mentor relationship and am learning a lot
from Instructor Jo, but I also like that I get to work with all of the
instructors. It’s interesting seeing how each instructor has a different
style.<br />
<br />
<b>What about some of the cool things you’ve seen underwater here?</b><br />
<br />
I saw my first ever shark at Shark Point the other day! We saw a
total of three white tip reef sharks swimming in hundreds of circling
jack fish and it was so cool.<br />
<br />
There are loads of turtles on the dive sites which is brilliant
because they are my favourite marine animal. You can’t go on a dive
without seeing at least a couple of them.<br />
<br />
I’ve also got to see lots of nudibranch that I’ve never seen before
and I spent a good 10 minutes watching a cuttlefish lay some eggs the
other day. Amazing!<br />
<br />
<b>Your BioRock specialty course is starting soon! Are you looking forward to it?</b><br />
<br />
Absolutely. It’s a new concept that I’d never heard of before. Like
most people, I’d heard about the decline of coral reefs around the
world, and about coral bleaching and the warming of the ocean. I’d even
witnessed this decline first hand having dived in Mauritius for so many
years. So I became quite excited when I realized I could work on a
project that is designed to combat these problems and help the reefs
regrow. I can’t wait until we start building our own structure and then
get to sink it and attach the coral. So exciting!<br />
<br />
It goes without saying that the course will also massively benefit my
university course and give me a lot of material and experience to share
with others.<br />
<br />
<b>Where else are you going on your gap year?</b><br />
<br />
I’m planning on heading back to Mauritius and I’m going to do my PADI
Instructor Development Course with the dive centre where I learnt to
dive. It’s like going full circle!<br />
<br />
Once that’s completed and I’ve got some teaching experience, I’m
going to go back to the British Virgin Islands as I’ve been offered a
position as part of the dive staff at Action Quest.<br />
<br />
<b>Where do you see yourself in five years time?</b><br />
<br />
My dream has always been to work with the BBC on a series similar to
the Blue Planet. I would love to be a research assistant on a program
like that, making brilliant television while getting the chance to see
nature’s wonders up close and for real. It would also be quite cool to
make David Attenborough a cup of tea…<br />
<br />
<b>Best of luck with realizing your dream Pippa! </b><br />
