If you really want to get ahead as an Instructor you need to be to able offer your students a full range of courses to cater to their needs and interests. What better start than being confident in teaching five Specialties? One of the biggest fears when graduating from an IE is facing a student and teaching a course for the first time, especially if you're not as familiar with it as you are with an Open Water course. As experienced dive educators we've all been there before. Our Specialty Instructor training programs familiarize you with the course content and standards for each of your chosen Specialties.

As with the other programs we've mentioned, Simon brings with him years of experience, offering you real life tips, hints and suggestions for each course, giving you additional confidence and therefore your students a more complete education. For example, in the Enriched Air course we'll take you step by step through the theory with some ideas on making your explanations more understandable. During the Deep Diver program you will not only complete all the underwater skills, but also get some good advice on site selection and training considerations. Each program is complete with videos and training aids where appropriate, enabling you to understand the full benefits associated with each. With dive sites like 'Deep Halik', 'Shark Point' and 'Sunset Reef, the Gili Islands offer some of the best dive sites in Asia to teach these courses. We'll outline the reason for each site selection and ensure the dives are enjoyable and rewarding.
