John Saber - PADI course Director

Bali (hot, but the water in the drains turns clockwise here and that keeps you entertained so you don’t notice the heat — ask John for a full explanation of the coriolis effect). In Bali, he developed this company, Absolute Scuba Bali, into a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center and is living here in tropical bliss. Consistent with the Bali life style, he runs a very low stress IDC where you even get to take a day or two off and go diving.

 

The PADI Course Director level is the pinnacle of the PADI System of diver education, representing less than one percent of all PADI Members. PADI Course Director hopefuls submit an application for acceptance into one of two annual PADI Course Director Training Courses. From almost 200 applications submitted each year only about 70 participants are selected to attend the two week long PADI Course Director Training Course (CDTC).

The PADI Course Director rating is the equivalent of having a postgraduate degree in scuba diving instruction, there is not a more prestigious level of certification within the dive industry. PADI Course Directors are the only people who may conduct the PADI Instructor Development Course needed to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
