Are you a seasoned scuba diving instructor and wish to crossover and teach the range of PADI Courses? Trawangan Dive has the answer with the PADI IDC Gili Islands Crossover program in Gili Trawangan.
Why choose Trawangan Dive to take the crossover course?
Gili Trawangan is a rapidly growing area for PADI
certifications and dive centers on the island are always looking for PADI
Instructors. Although our award winning Platinum PADI Course Director always
strongly encourages crossover candidates to take the full IDC at no extra cost,
it is also possible to take advantage of some free fun dives before or even
sometimes during the Instructor Development Course (IDC). One certified as a
PADI Scuba Diving Instructor you will be able to look for a job locally whilst
drawing upon both your previous experience and your knowledge of the local dive
sites. Trawangan Dive is currently the only PADI 5 Star Career Development
Center (CDC) on Gili Trawangan and was the first to be established in the Gili
Islands and therefore exceeds the standards usually expected from a PADI 5 Star
IDC Center. All Instructor level programs are conducted by Platinum PADI Course
Director Holly Macleod who has won multiple awards for her Instructor level
programs offered in Gili Trawangan.
What is involved in the PADI IDC Indonesia program?

Trawangan Dive and is conducted over a period of 11 days with and additional 4
days of pre IDC preparation.
