Diving Sabah? Dive Downbelow!

It’s that time again and our new IDC candidates are beginning to arrive and are being introduced to the PADI instructor trainers at our PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre.

Over the weekend we saw the arrival of Linda and Andrew to the July PADI Instructor Developement Course (IDC) and Downbelow resident Platinum PADI Course Director Richard Swann was on hand to personally welcome them.

The course will start on the 11th of July and before then, we will reveal the full line-up of IDC Candidates. Watch this space for updates!

Good progress by our newly qualified PADI Divemaster Chris Lewis as he prepares for his upcoming PADI IDC next month by helping Downbelow Instructor Tim conduct the daily snorkel safari for our guests.

He is gaining great experience in as he briefs under the watchful eye of instructor Tim.

Our next PADI IDC begins 11th July so if you are interested to join the IDC with Chris, do let us know and join us earlier to get free prep sessions from Downbelow!

Downbelow is proud to congratulate Morin & Suzi for passing part one of their Divemaster exam.

These hardworking boys are on Downbelow’s one year local internship program which will catapult them from non divers to PADI Divemasters whilst working full time in our PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre over a period of 1 year which is a firm step on the PADI professional ladder.

On hand to congratulate them is their instructor, Downbelow resident PADI Platinum Course Director & Downbelow Managing Director Richard Swann.
