Example A — teaching-only
Friday open arrival. Saturday launch and public-education morning. Sunday school teaching. Monday community center. Tuesday school morning and afternoon with certificates and gifts. Wednesday self-transfer to the airport. Totals: 6 + 2 hours. Afternoons free and self-funded.
Example B — teaching plus Open Water pathway
Example A through Tuesday. Wednesday: checkout, instructor pickup at 08:30, Tulamben, theory at 14:00, confined water at 15:00. Thursday: more confined water, then open-water dive 1. Friday: dives 2–4 with PADI application on dive 4. Saturday: open departure. Watch the training video before Tulamben.
How to use these examples
They are source patterns, not tickets. Schools can overlay chaperone meetings at breakfast. Families can overlay a daily check-in after dinner. Nobody should overlay a secret third classroom and still call it this itinerary. For hour-by-hour cells, see the itinerary and diving pages, which transcribe the PDFs more completely.
A third example would be a school-cohort wrapper: the same in-country hours plus four remote readiness weeks. That wrapper is described under programs and school partnerships. It is not a different Bali.
Worked example: a student named only as a role
Imagine a student teacher on the teaching-only pattern. Friday night: message home from the house. Saturday: launch, then pack cards. Sunday: voice role, English greetings, cut the third game. Monday: scan role at the community center, backup used. Tuesday: materials role, gift exchange calm. Wednesday: airport. Portfolio: brief v2, hour log, reflection that names the cut game. That is a complete example. No volcano required.
Imagine a combined-route student who fails confined water Thursday. They still have the teaching log. They fly Saturday without a card. Their showcase minute on water is about stopping. That is also a complete example, and a better one than a reckless pass.
Do not copy the sample civil dates
1.25 to 1.30 is a pattern in a file, not your ticket. Schools have pasted sample dates before and then fought airlines. Use the weekday logic; agree civil dates in coordination.
Example C — the school wrapper on the same hours
Four remote weeks of artifacts. A ninety-minute workshop. Teaching-only source week. A six-slide showcase. Same six-plus-two hours in Bali. The wrapper is thicker; the island is not. This is the example schools should copy before they copy a multi-country brochure. It is also the example that survives a budget cut because it does not depend on extra paid leisure.
Example D, to avoid: open arrival, skip launch, teach one photogenic hour, raft, nightlife, claim a week of service. That example exists in the wild. It is not a journer example. We print the negative so procurement can spot it when a student proposes it as a “customization.”
Example E — weather
Rain cancels a van, you miss the start of a block, you do not write the full hour. You teach a shorter backup in a covered space if the host wants, or you wait. The example is the log: “Monday community block shortened; rain; backup matching game 25 minutes.” That sentence is a better example than a sunny table. Examples that only work in dry season are incomplete.
Heat illness is another example: you sit out, you tell the lead, you drink water, you do not “push through” in front of children. The hour log records a sit-out. Certificates follow attendance, not toughness. Toughness is how people faint.
Use these weather examples in the workshop so students do not treat the PDF table as a guarantee of sky.
Example F — a late landing
You land Friday at 23:40, message home, sleep, and still make Saturday’s launch. That is the example the open arrival day was for. Landing Saturday at 11:00 and calling it fine is a different example, and a worse one, if credit was attached to the ceremony. Write the actual wheels-down time in the log.
