Instructor Training: The TL Sea Diving Difference
If you like people, have a passion for scuba diving and want 
an extraordinary life – become a PADI Instructor. Teaching scuba diving allows you to share your love of the aquatic world with others while doing what you enjoy – being in, around and under water. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors and PADI Assistant Instructors are the most sought-after dive professionals around the world because they’ve completed the program that sets the standard for training dive professionals. You earn a PADI Instructor rating through hard work and commitment, but you’re rewarded with a job that lets you share incredible underwater adventures with others – transforming their lives for the better and enriching yours.
The IDC is not “One Size Fits All” at TL Sea Diving!
TL Sea Diving’s Instructor Training focuses on fewer lectures and more real-life type interaction between the candidates with the Course Director facilitating the activities. TL Sea Diving has always used workshop training because they give the instructor candidates the opportunity to try various approaches and techniques, learn new approaches from their fellow candidates and figure out what works best for them in the real world, guided by your Course Director. This makes you more confident as you pass the Instructor Exam and start teaching real students. Workshops that other facilities “add on” are techniques we have used in our programs for years.
During the IDC, TL Sea Diving uses a hybrid-style approach with on-line meeting technology integrated with in-person sessions, pool sessions and open water sessions. You will meet personally with your Course Director and the staff throughout the program (or anytime you wish) to ask questions and discuss your IDC.
