Happy Divemasters

I did my divemaster course at Trawangan Dive and it was awesome. From the moment I got there, I was taken up in the TDC family, which is about so much more than diving. As a divemaster trainee I was given a role of responsibility with real customers, as well as one on one guidance from my mentor Ash (and all the other wonderful instructors). It was so refreshing to be working with absolute legends every day. TDC have nailed the balance between being a serious dive centre, where being the best dive master is the only option, and a really fun and upbeat place to make new friends and memories. Thanks again to all of you – I miss you guys and the great times we had above and below the water!

I did my open water through to my Divemaster with a couple of specialties in between at Trawangan Dive with no complaints whatsoever. All of the instructors are second to none at their job, they’re all amazing at what they do and were always willing to give out extra help when it was needed even off the clock. The atmosphere at the shop was always pumping and would be hard to beat being an extremely social and busy dive centre, easily one of the best on the island!
