Meet Instructor Trainer Waz

Warren “Waz” Beyers helps aspiring instructors develop clear teaching techniques, confidence and practical skills. His coaching focuses on preparing candidates to teach students in real diving situations.

What Makes Warren TCs Unique?

At Oceans 5 Gili Air, the SSI ITC Indonesia is not just about passing the Instructor Examination (IE); it’s about creating confident, competent, and environmentally responsible dive professionals. Under the guidance of Warren Beyers, ITC candidates receive an unparalleled learning experience that sets them apart in the industry.

Instead of following a rigid training schedule, Warren adapts the SSI ITC Indonesia to focus on candidates’ areas for improvement, providing extra support where needed. This approach helps candidates feel well-prepared and confident when they take the Instructor Examination.

Warren integrates environmentally responsible diving practices into the SSI ITC Indonesia. Candidates learn about sustainable diving, marine conservation projects, and how to educate future divers about protecting the underwater world.

Warren conducts comprehensive rescue workshops to help every instructor candidate understand and teach rescue skills effectively. His skill circuits focus on clear, controlled demonstrations, giving candidates opportunities to refine their techniques until they can confidently perform and teach each skill.

Beyond the ITC, Warren provides ongoing support and career advice to his graduates. Many of his former students have gone on to become successful dive instructors, Assistant Instructor Trainers, and Instructor Trainers themselves.

“I really enjoyed the SSI Instructor Training Course at Oceans 5 Gili Air, especially discovering different ways to teach students. It was a very good course, and I really liked learning from Instructor Trainer Waz.

The course was stressful at times, but in the end everything came together. I passed the exam and became an SSI Instructor!

Lato Wibowo

SSI Instructor Training Course September 2026

Now working on Gili Air

“I chose the ITC at Oceans 5 because of their excellent reputation and outstanding training facilities.

Waz and Sander were our trainers. Alongside their extensive experience and knowledge, which goes beyond diving, they have a special quality: a passion for teaching. Not all trainers share that passion.

I would also like to thank the entire Oceans 5 team for supporting me throughout the ITC, especially when I needed to stay overnight on Gili Air.

I am now an SSI Instructor and will be working on Gili Air!”
