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 support a clean, healthy ocean by making a donation on
behalf of each student to Project AWARE. All students will receive the Project
AWARE version of your PADI certification card and be part of a movement of
divers protecting our ocean planet.
One of the founders of
Trawangan Dive, Simon
Liddiard received an award for his 20 years of commitment and
support to the PADI system and its philosophy. Hans Ulrich from PADI Asia
Pacific visited Trawangan Dive to present the award and to personally thank
Simon, Trawangan Dive and all the staff for their assistance and contribution
to PADI and for helping to shape the future of PADI recreational dive training
and therefore shaping the quality of training for future divers.
All of our Instructors
here at Trawangan Dive have also received awards for excellence in the field of
recreational dive training. All were presented with a quartz crystal plaque to
represent not only teaching 100 new divers this year but to signify the high
level of professionalism which is demonstrated by each and every dive
instructor at Trawangan Dive. The Awards were presented by Tony Andrews of PADI
Asia Pacific who came to Trawangan Dive to individually present the awards and
to congratulate each instructor thanking them for their high level of commitment
to the PADI Educational System.
Again this year we
received our Trip Advisor “Certificate of excellence”. The Certificate of Excellence award is given to outstanding
hospitality businesses that have received praise
and recognition in reviews by Trip Advisor travelers. To qualify
for the Certificate of Excellence, businesses must maintain an overall rating
of four or higher, out of a possible five, as reviewed by travelers on Trip
Advisor. Additional criteria include the volume of reviews received within the
last 12 months.
Trawangan Dive is a 5 Star IDC Resort,
and has now been awarded the Classification of “Career Development Centre”.
There are only 4 CDC Centers in Indonesia and we are the first in the Lombok
region. As well as conducting 11
PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDC) per year we have 2 PADI Course
Directors and a brand new purpose built IDC classroom facility. The PADI Career Development Center (CDC) classification
is awarded annually to PADI Five Star Instructor Development Centers and Five
Star Instructor Development Dive Resorts that dedicate their businesses to
professional development beyond regular scuba instructor training and meet the
highest requirements for training PADI scuba diving leaders. PADI CDCs
offer career-oriented training to prepare scuba diving professionals for
employment in the dive industry, as well as offering job placement assistance
for program graduates.
So 2013 has been a very
eventful year for Trawangan Dive and although we are at the height of
professionalism in the industry and there are not many awards of recognition
left to obtain we still strive to continue to improve and hope that our future
customers continue to have a highly rewarding experience at Trawangan Dive.
We are making every
effort to continuously improve upon our already excellent reputation and if
your looking to dive or stay with us we are also making every effort to keep
our guests fully upto date through our scocial media including our website and
