- Instructor Course
If you believe your work should be enjoyable and exciting, if you are eager to share your knowledge with others, if you believe that to train the best you must be among the best trained, then become a NAUI Instructor. Sub-Aquatic Sports is a NAUI Instructor Training Facility and we truly believe in their motto "Dive Safety Through Education".
The Instructor Training Course (ITC) runs 10 days and is usually held over a series of weekends. You should already have a solid background of dive experience and knowledge before signing up for this highly demanding course. We are not here to teach you to be a dive technician, someone who simply flips in a DVD as a learning tool. You will become an educator, someone who understands the learning process. You’ll know how to modify a course to meet the needs of your students. You will be challenged both physically and mentally.
So, if you’re ready for the challenge of becoming a NAUI instructor, we’re ready to help you make that dream come true.
