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.
