The First SSI ITC Indonesia at Oceans 5 Gili Air

GILI AIR, Indonesia - March 2, 2026 - PRLog -- Yesterday, an important milestone was reached at Oceans 5 Gili Air. After 16 days of focused training, Lily and Fabi officially became certified instructors through the very first SSI ITC Indonesia held at the dive center. Their achievement marks the beginning of a new era of instructor training on Gili Air.

The program follows the official standards of Scuba Schools International (SSI), one of the world's leading dive training organizations. Over 16 structured days, candidates develop their classroom presentation skills, confined water teaching techniques, and open water control abilities. Under the guidance of Instructor Trainer Waz, Lily and Fabi were trained not just to pass an evaluation, but to become confident, capable instructors.

At Oceans 5, the course is known as the SSI ITC Indonesia curriculum. While it follows SSI's official framework, it includes additional workshops designed to strengthen real-world teaching skills. A key component is the Dry Control Workshop, where candidates practice positioning, student management, and problem-solving before entering the ocean. This approach allows immediate feedback and builds confidence early in the process.

Video analysis is another important feature. By reviewing recordings of their presentations, candidates can clearly see their strengths and areas for improvement. This modern training method accelerates progress and reinforces professional development.

Environmental awareness is also fully integrated into the course. Teaching around Gili Air means working in a sensitive marine environment. New instructors are trained to promote responsible diving, proper buoyancy, and reef protection in every session.

With modern facilities, small group sizes, and a calm island setting, Oceans 5 Gili Air provides an ideal environment for instructor development. Lily and Fabi's success demonstrates that the SSI ITC Indonesia, https://www.idc-indonesia.com, produces instructors who are not only certified, but truly prepared to lead and inspire divers worldwide.
