PADI Course Director Ute Frlec

Ute started diving in 1991 during a holiday on Sri Lanka. She continued with the rest of the courses back home in Germany, where she started working as PADI Divemaster in 1994. She gained her instructor level in April 1995 on Kuredu/Maldives and continued working for the same dive center until 1997.

During her career within the diving industry in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Thailand, Egypt, Indonesia and the Maldives Ute has successfully trained more than 2000 divers in all different diving environments & levels.

She has been living on Phuket/Thailand for three years (1997-1999) working for the PADI Carreer Development Center "Dive Asia" as a training manager. In the year 2000 she moved to Lombok/Indonesia to work for "Dream Divers" running their IDC Center on Gili Trawangan for another three years as a base leader. As a Course Director, she wants to share her extensive training experience with the new generation of diving instructors.

Since more then ten years Ute’s IDCs are very popular due to their relaxed atmosphere and the high level of professionalism. Since she still works as an diving instructor between her IDCs the focus on the “real life” of an instructor after the IDC/IE is always present during her programs.

Her friendly, supportive and open way of guiding people through the course gave her already the respect of many candidates. So far already more than 1400 candidates
archieved their instructor level with her.
