Welcome to the PADI IDC at Scuba Center Asia Lembongan
Why you want to do your PADI IDC at Scuba Center Asia. Because we’re not just running another IDC, we are a powerhouse. With experienced Course Directors on-site and a fully dedicated Pro Development Team, we’re taking your dive career to the next level. We stand for five things that define us:
- Quality training at the highest standard. You are supported by a Pro team that invests in you.
- Personal mentoring: you’re never just a number here.

This is not your average IDC. The PADI Instructor Development Course is recognized worldwide, but with us, you’ll feel the difference: smaller groups, stronger guidance, deeper experience. You won’t just pass your IE, you’ll walk out ready to teach, inspire, and actually land the job.
Whether your dream is to become a Dive Instructor, climb further up the Dive Pro ladder, or build a full career in diving, our professional programs are designed to fuel your success every step of the way.
The IDC at Scuba Center Asia is split into two parts: the Assistant Instructor segment and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) segment, finishing with the official PADI Instructor Examination right here in Nusa Lembongan.
Because we don’t do “just the basics,” you’ll also walk away with extra credentials: EFR Instructor, and all PADI AWARE Specialty Instructor ratings like the Dive Against Debris, Coral Reef Conservation, Shark Awareness, and Peak Performance Buoyancy Instructor. How cool is that?
You won’t just become a Dive Instructor, you’ll graduate as a complete, ocean-minded pro, ready to lead and inspire.
