PADI Pro Development Philippines

He’s known for a long time that he wanted to become an Instructor with us, and complete his Divemaster. With some planning and prep, he’s been absolutely incredible. Watching him grow over the past months has been truly fulfilling for us.

We deeply care about proper training, and we can see the incredible passion Dean holds for the ocean and his training.

We couldn’t be more proud, and he’s even begun his tech journey this week with us after IDC & IE.

Today, we’re working on Gas Blender course with the group, but we wanted to highlight Deans incredible training journey thus far and how high his standards have been held.

It’s been, and continues to be such a pleasure!!

A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS and Introducing your future dive instructors.... DYANNE & DEAN 🥳 What a few weeks it has been! All the diving, learning, studying, challenges, celebrations, problems we kept assigning you.... and today you’ve both passed your PADI IE and are now officially PADI Instructors!

We couldn’t be more proud of you both for the incredible effort and dedication you’ve both put in during your IDCs. Today marks the first day of your journey into your new careers.

You’re going to be incredible instructors.

For now, we cheers to you 🍻 amazing work!

Today the candidates spent time with Frank doing an equipment workshop, actually getting hands-on with the gear, understanding how it all works from the inside out.

It’s an extra I like to include whenever possible, because when you truly understand how the equipment functions, all those equipment questions in the IE suddenly make a lot more sense.

It would be easy to just run you through the minimum standards and push you toward your IE. Plenty of places do exactly that. But the little extras, the workshops, the time spent making sure things actually click, that’s what turns you from someone who passed their IDC into someone who’s genuinely ready to teach.

It’s not the flashy stuff. It’s the small things we build in because we care whether you walk away confident, not just certified.

If that’s the kind of training you’re after, let’s talk. Our next IDC is coming up on September 23rd and we’d love to have you!

Dyanne and Dean are just ONE WEEK away from their PADI IE on August 12 & 13. Here’s some behind the scenes of the last couple of days during their PADI IDC at Sierra Madre Divers Bohol 🤿 PADI 5-Star IDC in the Philippines

Right now they’re deep in it 🤿 teaching presentations, skill circuits, standards, briefings, debriefs, repeat.

The people who succeed here aren’t superhuman. They’re not the ones with 2,000 dives and zero nerves. They’re the ones who were a little unsure, a little nervous, and decided to back themselves anyway. That’s it. That’s the whole secret.

In two weeks you walk out a completely different diver. A PADI Instructor. Someone who gets to teach this incredible sport for a living, in some of the most beautiful water on the planet.

Our next IDC kicks off September 23. Two weeks in paradise with Troy guiding you through every step.
