Why Kurabesi
Why learn with us?
It's designed mainly for people with office jobs. Yes, you!
We understand this market because we are part of it.
The Instructor Training Course (ITC) is the most prestigious course in the scuba diving pathway, and a highly rewarding step from your Divemaster rating. We built it around life in Jakarta and all its quirks, so you can earn your rating without leaving your job.
Keep your annual leave
No need to take two weeks off. Almost every session runs outside work hours, and you only need leave for the Instructor Evaluation (IE).
No rush
Life has so many surprises, and we have time for them. You will also have enough time to practice again and again, until you are truly ready to teach.
Talk diving business
Yes, it's going to be a big part of this process. Teaching capacity is the core, but implementing SSI's business cycle is what will make you thrive. You will learn from Jakarta's existing, growing community of divers.
