MASTER PROGRAM +
LEVEL 1-2 INSTRUCTOR COURSE
We highly recommend all of our Instructor Candidates begin either with the Master Program or at least a week of training before the Instructor Course.
The Instructor course is not a training camp with time to work on your own diving, you’ll be practicing the skills you will use as a teacher, so it is worth investing time to refine your own diving before commencing. This will help familiarise you with our centre, the environment and your fellow students, and give you time to train for your performance requirements, so that you can begin your Instructor Course feeling prepared and relaxed.
