Teaching specialty courses helps you to teach the things that you love, and makes you as an instructor more valuable to any dive shop.
We all become instructors because we want to teach. The more we teach, the more we earn, and everyone wins.
To become a Master Scuba Diver Trainer you need 25 teaching certs (these can be from any courses that you are qualified to teach) and 5 Instructor Specialties.
Open Water and Advanced Open Water are the core courses that you are likely to teach most of, but your passion will inspire your students, and it’s great to be able to teach courses in the subjects that you love.
Personally, I love Self-Reliant and Search & Recovery, I love teaching those skills and watching my students become more technically proficient, able to deal with increased task loading, and watching them develop as competent, safe divers.
Some people are more interested in photography, or identifying marine-life. For others it’s wrecks. The beauty of specialty courses is that it doesn’t matter where your passion lies, you can teach a specialty in that subject.
The MSDT prep gives you the 5 specialties that you need, and makes it easier to achieve the 25 certs that you need for MSDT.
You will learn how to teach your chosen specialty subjects. We’ll look at the theory that your students will learn and the skills that they will develop. Together we will look at the best ways to organise, schedule, and deliver the courses.
If your chosen specialties include diving then we will go diving and you will demonstrate all the skills that you will be teaching.
Specialties are priced according to whether they require dives on Similans, local sites or no dives
