SCUBA Training Assistant

Training Assistants may conduct confined and open water training exercises under the supervision of an Instructor. Our curriculum provides candidates the opportunity to develop leadership skills under the guidance of a mentoring Instructor. As a prerequisite, Training Assistant candidates must possess Master Diver certification and provide documentation of diving experience with a minimum of sixty logged, open water dives. Dives must be varied in environment, depth and activities. The course of study includes:

Dive Leadership: Teaching and Learning Theory, Effective Communications
Examine the learning process, characteristics of effective teachers, tools and techniques needed to develop SCUBA courses. This stage of the course involves fifteen hours of classroom instruction and is required for those aspiring to become Divemasters, Training Assistants, and Instructor Candidates.

Mentoring Process
Mentoring is the most-neglected component of most professional dive programs and this sets our curriculum apart. You will be assigned a mentor to guide you through this process, addressing potential areas for further development and providing opportunities for practical application.
