PADI Course Director Johan

Johan Blixt

A award winning Platinum PADI Course Director

My name is Johan Blixt, Platinum PADI Course Director for IDC Philippines. I am also the coordinator of all your instructor courses around our superb locations and I am here to help you with all the questions you might have on your path to become a PADI Instructor.
 
I have been diving here in the Philippines for more than 17 years. I believe it’s one of the best parts in the world to go diving and to teach diving. I started out teaching with Neptune Diving Resorts in Moalboal who is a PADI Five Star IDC Center that has been teaching PADI Instructors since 1995 when they first opened up.

We at IDC Philippines are traveling the whole Visaya region of the Philippines and teaching IDCs in for now 4 gorgeous locations as you can see here below.  

We are currently doing IDCs all year around in 4 different locations and are aiming in the near future to do even more. We are working together with other award winning PADI Course Directors. And we believe we can become even better with our strong relationship with our whole team.

We can now offer an extended range of languages such as Swedish, German, Dutch, French, Tagalog, Visaya and of course English. If you can’t find a IDC Center that can teach in your language please ask us, and we will do our best to make it happen for you.

Our facilities at all our locations include air conditioned classroom; computer based training aids, offsite/onsite pool or in some cases confined open water just in front of the shop. Beach side restaurants with free Wifi  are also widely available on all our locations.

PADI Master Instructor Irish

Irish Temblor

Master Instructor

I have been diving since 2014 and a PADI professional since 2015. I love IDC because I always learn from it. Keeps me up to date. And I always learn from the insights of the IDC students. I can also share my knowledge and techniques which can help sharpen their skills and shape them to becoming a better instructors in the future. And emphasize safety first above all else.

Martin de Boer

IDC Staff Instructor

My name is Martin, and I was born in the Netherlands. 22 years ago I had my first encounter with the underwater world when I did my OW course in Australia. Since then Iíve been in love with breathing under water and enjoying the amazing creatures that live just below the surface.
A few years ago I decided that I wanted to share my passion so I did my IDC/IE and became instructor. In 2022 I decided to quit my job in the Netherlands and I moved to Moalboal to teach.
Besides English and Dutch I also speak German, and a little bit of French.  Looking forward to be diving with you soon!

Andreas Westphal

IDC Staff Instructor

My name is Andreas. I’m from Sweden. I’ve always loved being in the water ever since I was a kid. 2016 I finally decided to learn how to dive and I enrolled in the open water course. I didn’t know it yet but this would change my life totally. My passion for diving grew much stronger and 3 years later I’ve become a open water scuba instructor. The thing I love being an instructor is that you meet people from all over the world, they are always happy, maybe a little scared or nervous about diving but you will change them being totally comfortable and really happy after a dive. It’s all about safety first but I also want to make it fun. I can teach in both Swedish and English. 

Please contact us in case you have any more questions ‘about us’.
