PADI IDC Indonesia with Holly Macleod | Quality vs Price Analysis on the IDC Gili Trawangan Program

One of the major concerns when people decide to become a PADI Instructor is how much will it cost, but it is also important to consider who is going to be conducting the course and try to establish what exactly you are paying for.

Firstly you need to consider who is teaching the program. With our program all instructor level training is conducted by renowned Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod including the entire PADI IDC Indonesia OWSI program from start to finish. There are many centers who offer multiple Course Directors, Master Instructors and PADI Staff Instructors and in some instances the main Course Director is nowhere to be seen and candidates can often be found wandering who the hell teaching this program.

It is also important to consider the knowledge and experience of the Course Director or those actually conducting the program. Our Platinum rated PADI Course Director has been working within industry for well over a decade and is always willing to share her experiences with future Instructors often being able to provide valuable hints and tips to future Instructors.

Another big part of your decision is the facility you will taking the program at. Our program runs exclusively at Trawangan Dive, which is the first established PADI 5 Star Career Development Center to be established in both Lombok and the Gili Islands and therefor offer a far superior level of education.

So when considering PADIIDC Indonesia Expense it’s important to consider the reasons why some courses may be offered cheaper than others and of course conversely, why some centers offer courses at higher prices. Our IDC Gili Islands Program is priced at an extremely completive price and is possibly the most reasonably program on offer when you consider the cost alongside the pure quality of training and undisputed reputation for excellence.
