In the Candidates in the Spotlight series, we talk to our IDC candidates about their experiences during and after the IDC.<\/p>\n
This time, we talk to Mona from Germany, who landed a job as diving instructor in the Maldives, after her IDC!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why did I decide to become a diving instructor ?!
I wanted to turn my hobby into a profession and of course to share my passion. I outgrew my job in Gemany and fought for my dream and I am proud that I did it.<\/p>\n
Why with Marcel? As a German potato I wanted to do my IDC course in my language.
Since Marcel offered, I didn’t think twice about it, of course.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My IDC experience was actually better than I expected it to be. I thought this was definitely not going to be fun. But luckily it was the complete opposite!<\/p>\n
Despite the learning, we also had a good mix of fun! But of course, you can only thank the course director, his assistant Kevin and the other candidates for that.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/asiascubainstructors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PADI-IDC-October-2023-1.jpg” alt=”PADI IDC October 2023″ title_text=”PADI IDC October 2023-1″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5%||5%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/asiascubainstructors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mona4.jpg” alt=”padi idc candidate Mona” title_text=”Mona4″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5%||5%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”4e8998a6-94a4-47ff-bbb0-4d73eae8c687″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
The instructor exam was a bit stressful for me. The practical part was a complete success for all of us. I had some difficulties with the theoretical part at the first try… but I didn’t give up, built on my gaps and succeeded in the end!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Working in the Maldives sounds like a dream… and it is most of the time, but it’s not always.<\/p>\n
You have to be aware that you are working on a small island. Depending on the resort, there may also be strict regulations. <\/p>\n
Nevertheless, my best experiences so far have been meeting lots of new people and being able to pass on my passion to them, namely the incredibly beautiful underwater world.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/asiascubainstructors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mona5.jpg” alt=”padi idc candidate Mona” title_text=”Mona5″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5%||5%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”4e8998a6-94a4-47ff-bbb0-4d73eae8c687″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Being a diving instructor is more of a lifestyle. Unfortunately, you don’t become rich in the sense of money through this profession.
But definitely rich in experience!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I would definitely like to thank Marcel and Kevin for this great experience and the great time we had together at the IDC. Especially the great group we were! It was a really good mixture of the necessary rigor and of course fun.<\/p>\n
Even after the course Marcel is there for advice and support and that makes a teacher really special!<\/p>\n
I can definitely recommend Marcel with a clear conscience and hope that he will continue to teach for a long time to come!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”4e8998a6-94a4-47ff-bbb0-4d73eae8c687″ custom_padding=”15px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Being a PADI diving instructor is truly the best job out there!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Imagine spending your days teaching others to dive, sharing your love for the underwater world, and seeing their excitement as they master each skill.<\/p>\n
