Intern-turned-pro-diver Paul is living the diving dream in Borneo at Downbelow’s PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre.

Paul joined Downbelow last year in Borneo to follow his pro diver dream.

He successfully completed Downbelow’s PADI Instructor Development Course to realise his dream, after which he left Borneo for more travelling.

Borneo dreams reoccur however, and Paul laid them to rest joining Downbelow as a PADI Instructor.

Paul now shares his diving dream in Borneo to eager new divers.

Whale sharks in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo! Our IDC candidates jumped into the water and there she was, a huge approx. 9m specimen, in the TAR Park, just 10 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu city, Sabah norther part of Borneo. More pix on our website.

Our 2nd Instructor Development Course for the year is starting on Saturday 4 Febuary 2012, here in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia Borneo.

It’s our first IDC plus IE however, because our January IDC was a custom production for 2 special guests, and didn’t feature a PADI Instructor Examination.

Needless to say, there’s an excited buzz on Gaya island at our PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre, where we currently have small, temporary population of professional interns, many of who are also candidates for the Instructor Development Course.

That said, we do still have space left for the IDC, which means you still have an opportunity to Go Pro with Downbelow - take it!

If you can’t make this IDC, don’t fret - check out our schedule for the next PADI IDC and join us in Borneo for Asia’s highest quality PADI Instructor Development Course experience.

In the meantime, our current IDC candidates will start with the FREE IDC prep today, that we offer with all our IDCs.  

They will be busy, yes, but will still have time to utilise their free, unlimited diving - another perk of doing an IDC (or any of our internships for that matter) with Downbelow in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo.

Contact us for more information and Go Pro with Downbelow.

Downbelow’s next PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) takes place from 6 – 15 September in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo and will be immediately followed by the PADI Instructor Examination on 16 & 17 September.

To further enhance your industry qualification, we recommend a 1 month internship to accompany your IDC.  

It gives you the opportunity to implement your new qualification in a real-world situation and up your experience, as well as insight into the inner workings of a busy PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre, such as our beach house dive centre on Gaya Island.

Our guests are from all walks of life, from single travelers to groups, and they take part in our wide range of activities from snorkeling to IDCs.

More than customer interaction though, a professional internship also allow the prospective or newly qualified Open Water Scuba Instructor to gain experience behind the scenes, in the daily operations of a busy dive centre.

Our next 1 Month IDC Internship starts on 26 August in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo and leads up to the Instructor Development Course & Exam that runs from 6 - 17 September.
