Dive Ninjas Opens Conservation Focused PADI IDC Program in Los Cabos

Dive Ninja Expeditions announced today the opening of their new PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Center in Los Cabos, Mexico with conservation-oriented dive professional programs. As leaders in the industry, Dive Ninjas is committed to their mission in promoting sustainable marine tourism by expanding their training programs to instructor level courses.

“Our Divemaster, Instructor, and MSDT programs are unlike any other in the industry. They focus on creating highly trained, knowledgeable dive professionals that can drive change in the industry and work to help protect our oceans no matter where in the world their career in diving may take them,” says conservationist and Dive Ninjas Founder Jay Clue.

Each Ninja Go Pro Program starts with a standard PADI course at its core. From there they have curated specialized workshops built-in to the program at no extra cost to help students develop a more specialized skill set not only for their career but to equip them with tools to help create a bigger impact in the world. 

Ninja Go Pro Programs & Details:

• PADI Divemaster Course – This mentorship program includes 14 additional workshops such as designing eco tours, working in remote areas, etc.

• PADI Instructor Development Course – This 2 week program has a built-in IDC preparation course, Dive Ninja’s exclusive PADI Whale Defender Specialty Instructor course, and over 6 specialized workshops on how to work responsibly with sharks & rays, sustainable dive operations, and more.

• PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) Course – This 4-day program teaches 5 different specialty instructor courses specially curated by Dive Ninjas – including their new Apex Predator Diver course coming out this spring. It can be packaged with IDC or as a standalone course for those instructors looking to further their career in diving.

Dive Ninjas will also be offering the PADI IDC Staff Instructor (IDSCI) course as well as PADI Technical Diving Instructor and Freediving courses.

Former PADI Regional Manager and Instructor Examiner Anders Heegaard will be leading the program. Anders is a PADI Platinum Course Director with over 12 years experience teaching IDCs and creating some of the top IDC Programs in North America. “As the next voices of the ocean, we want each student to succeed in our programs but more importantly, inspire them to get involved in conservation. Our team will be there to support every step of the way, providing relevant knowledge and experience that will benefit them later on.”

The Ninja Go Pro programs have been curated out of decades of combined experience working in diving and ecotourism, but also from a passion for teaching and ocean conservation. “We want to drive change in the industry by helping to create a new generation of PADI dive professionals. Divemasters and Instructors that will not only be some of the most sought after in the industry but who will go on to inspire divers and non-divers alike to fall in love with our planet’s beautiful waterways and take action to help protect them and all of the incredible creatures that call them home. This is the soul and ethos of the Dive Ninja professional training program,” shared Clue. 

This announcement comes on the heels of the opening of Dive Ninja’s second location at Casa Dorada, a renowned 5-star hotel in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in December 2020.
