Blue Corner Marine Conservation

Excellent experience with Andrew and Egi!
I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot of new things g's about corals and especially about reef restoration techniques!
I took the 4 weeks conservation program, including reef ecology, reef monitoring program, coral reef restoration and scientific diving week.
I ha the chance to improve my field experience and work on a multi year conservation project on coral reef.
I felt like to be in a family and couldn't ask for more.
I would recommend this program to everyone that has the chance to help our oceans!

Blue corner Marine Research

Amazing experience with experts in Marine Research and conservation latest findings and practices. Very hands-on training partly in class and Diving, building frames, installing frames underwater, collecting and attaching corals, maintenance, monitoring and more.. . Every aspect is covered and you acquire a valuable understanding of your role in protecting, informing and getting involved for our oceans ecosystems. You can follow either 4 weekly modules or focus on the one you are interested in the most. It's really a fun and knowledgeable experience that I recommend to anyone willing to learn in depth and do underwater marine research.

Blue corner dive IDC

It's a very pro and fun training. The Course Director is super dedicated and thorough so you are sure to succeed in your final exam. The dive center is the best in my opinion on Nusa Lembongan and their staff have a long lasting reputation for career development and conservation. Grateful I trained with them. 🤙 The schedule is super well prepared, you feel improving every day in skills and knowledge. Your meals are insanely good at lunch and you have enough time in the afternoon to relax and study. Great balance.

Brilliant IDC!

Brilliant dive shop! I did both my divemaster and IDC here, both courses were organised really well and I had a great time. The divemaster was good fun and Piyo was a great instructor! The IDC with Made was intense but really rewarding and fun. I did the 22 day IDC which included MSDT prep, I can't recommend this course enough and we had a nice couple of days in Tulamben diving the Liberty wreck. If you want to become an instructor, this is the place to do it! The whole dive shop is nicely laid out and all the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Interview

What is your favorite travel memory?

After a number of years working with Blue Corner Dive I was able to start to travel and explore some of the great diving in Indonesia. I was invited on a live aboard trip to see Whalesharks in Cenderwashi Bay. The trip was a complete surprise to me until we got to the airport. What a magical surprise and opportunity to be on a boat, exploring some of the fantastic diving my country has to offer.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I enjoy diving here in the area and will show all of his guests the large pelagics as well as some of the smaller critters on the reef.

I started out as a PADI Divemaster, after some time Made worked diligently to become a PADI Instructor and assistant manager of Blue Corner Dive, after years of dedication and continuous learning I earned his way up the PADI ladder from Divemaster to Instructor to IDC Staff to Master Instructor and finally PADI Course director.

I now work full time on the IDC Lembongan Programs at Blue Corner Dive and hold the highest rating within the PADI system of Platinum Course Director.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I love having our students return to do more courses with us or more fun diving. We have a great team of instructors and divers that attract people to coming back and visiting us. I think what impresses and surprises our guests is that there is always one or two or ALL of the staff who remember you and remember your name.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

The answer is obvious... I would do my instructor course again with Blue Corner Dive. During the course you learn so much and the friendships that are established during the course are life long. I am still friends with the people that I did my IDC with. The journey during the IDC is intense and the friendships gained are an undeniably strong bond.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Blue Corner works hard to support and develop the local community has has gained a positive relationship with the people of Nusa Lembongan. I am proud to work for a company that values the local people. As a company Blue Corner Dive respects the local community, local religion and promotes environmental programs to protect our reef and our fish.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Blue Corner Dive has always been a family. No matter how busy or slow we are we have remained a family first company where Blue Corner Dive values its employees and their families above all else. Blue Corner Dive values our service and promotes employees in house and has many opportunities for personal and professional growth.
