Why choose Asia Scuba Instructors for your PADI IDC in Bali?
We often get asked… “What makes your PADI IDC different?” or “Why should I choose you?” It’s not an easy question to answer. Many IDCs worldwide offer a fun experience and an Instructor certification to go with it. Most divers only become Instructors once, so it’s almost impossible to compare IDCs.
What really makes the difference are the small details that add up to your learning experience and success – from our online tools to prepare for the course, to our fun and practical teaching style, and our job placement support that can truly kick-start your career as a diving Instructor.
In the end, it comes down to real results, proven support, and the stories of our candidates. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of divers become successful PADI Instructors with our monthly IDCs across Southeast Asia.
These are the reasons why our candidates choose to do their PADI IDC with us:
Stress free IDC: Our courses are not overcrowded so every student can get the attention they deserve. Friendly and patient instructors love to share their passion and experience. They don’t focus on showcasing their own skills, but they are happy to share their knowledge and experience, to make you succeed in the IDC and become a confident instructor.
Of course you will face some challenges. That’s how you learn. But we will be there to create a supportive learning environment where mistakes become learning moments, not failures.
