 Instructor Cert

This is kind of inside for anyone who is an instructor or better yet, a course director.


After 30+ years diving and recently turning 50, I figured it was time to get my NAUI instructor cert. This old guy has been frantically studying things I’d forgotten.


Any suggestion, comments, thoughts, advice?

Both PADI and NAUI here, e-mail me if I can help or contact me through the web site.

Well I can tell you I went PADI and brother I would not wish that course on anyone...lol


No it wasn’t so bad, my CD was a ! [ at ] $%, but good for us my examiner was pretty cool. Not sure about NAUI, but if it was anything like we went through you will learn a lot. We had to revisit a lot of "theory" and "physics" but a lot of teaching and presenting scenarios as well. Remember to anticipate the needs of your Course Director... be sure to find out what he likes for breakfast, that may help out...lol Good luck!
