Paramus, NJ
So, If you’re ready for the next step and to get the chance to introduce new divers to the sport of Scuba diving, see the looks on their faces the first time they breath underwater or see things they have only seen in movies and on TV. Maybe you want to become an SDI Instructor to start or change carriers or so you can travel the world. The Instructor Course will teach current Divemaster or Assistants Instructors the knowledge to safely function as an Instructor with the abilities to teach Open Water Scuba Divers, Advanced Adventures Divers, Rescue Divers, Divemasters and Assistant Instructors.
The program is divided into 2 sections, an Instructor Development Course (IDC) and an Instructor Evaluation Course (IEC).
Online Academics Gain the academic knowledge and information online. With most programs you are required to complete several hours of “in classroom” training to gain this information. Now you can complete this in the comfort of your home and on your schedule. Use your valuable time gaining the practical experience you need to become a Dive Professional instead of sitting in a classroom.
The IDC teaches you how to;
- Schedule course
- Successfully market scuba
- Properly teach and design academic and in water sessions
- Effectively utilize assistants.
The IEC evaluates everything you learned during the IDC. This is typically a two day evaluation process and evaluates your abilities in: - Preparing and teaching academic sessions
- Knowledge of subject matter
- Pool/confined water lessons
- Open water lessons
- Emergency management abilities
