Program Reviews

The course directors really know their thing, so hey pushed us hard to learn the best way we could and achieve success in the Instructor Examination. But more than that, they were always super accessible (still are whenever I need), they helped us with everything we needed, and we felt at home during the program. I would definitely recommend the program for those who want to seriously become an instructor! The facilities are really great, and we felt at home during the whole program. The specialties and dives included in the 22 days program are a plus that really makes the experience even better!

I completed the 22 day IDC and stayed in the provided dorm. The dorm was comfortable and felt safe. We had one cold shower and a seperate toilet. We each had half a shelving unit and set of hooks which was enough for spreading out our things.
I completed the course with another German girl and two guys who already worked at Blue Corner. Our group was great, we all got on really well, had fun, and supported each other. Our course director Made was also great, super supportive and fun. The blue corner team were always really helpful and living onsite meant help was always around for anything. The location was also really good to access shops, restaurants, and laundry facilities.
I would recommend this program to anyone who is willing to take on a challenge and put in the work to become a dive instructor.

Extremely professional and knowledgeable, the Blue Corner staff goes the extra mile in any area you want to explore or hone your skills with their flexibility and agility. From the first interaction, the team went out of their way to help, from housing to understanding your goals, to everything else you'd need. You won't find better location if you want to advance your diving skills or get your feet wet in marine conservation. Nusa Penida and Lembongan are rich in coral and marine life -- making the Blue Corner Dive experience one of the best. My only complaint about Blue Corner Dive and Conservation Center is I couldn’t stay longer.

Wow! What a crazy amazing time I had with Blue Corner! Nusa Lembongan is such a beautiful island with incredible views all around. During my Instructor Development Course, I had amazing mentorship from not one but TWO incredible course directors Cody McDonald, and Made Partayasa, who still are going out of their way to help me months after my course is over. I’m so happy that I chose Blue Corner as it’s one of the shops in Indonesia that seems to actually care; regularly running underwater cleanups, ecological conservation courses, and employing locals (which some local shops seem to not do enough unfortunately). I got to dive so many beautiful sites around Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan, and Penida as well as joining an amazing dive trip to Jungubatu to dive the USAT Liberty wreck. The dive shop has amazing facilities including pools, showers, classrooms, air conditioning (essential), a restaurant with an amazing view of Bali, all right on the beach! All of the IDCs are provided with free lunches for the duration of the program, my favourite dish was easily the Telur Balado eggs! So tasty! My girlfriend did her Divemaster at the same time and also absolutely loved the experience. We met so many friends that we have travel plans with and are hoping to have a reunion soon back on Lembongan! Her and I are planning on going back as soon as we can!

The dive master program is something I will remember for the rest of my life. I’ve built confidence, improved my diving and most of built great relationships with the other divers.
My instructor Misha helped me become a more confident and positive person through the DM program. Hands down the best experience in my life.
I’m now considering coming back next year to complete my instructors license. My motivation behind this is to work in the dive community and hopefully get a job around the world and share this with other divers
