Curriculum - classroom

Dive theory covers physics, physiology, recreational dive planner, equipment, skills & environment.

The classroom curriculum teaches you to understand the PADI educational system and challenges you to think like an instructor applying good judgement to planning dive activities.

Knowledge development sessions introduce you to prepare classroom lectures in a fun, structured, easy to follow format making you a better instructor.

Curriculum - confined water

Confined water presentations are designed to teach you how to introduce and teach skills students need to master in order to learn to scuba dive.

You will learn how to describe skills, demonstrate dive skills, look out for common mistakes made by students and most importantly ensure your students can master everything in confined water before proceeding to the open water.

The 24 PADI dive skills of the skill circuit are:

Have a pool or body of water, then prepare yourself for the PADI skill circuit.

I urge you to work on your buoyancy, especially that hover… Check out the videos below to show you what a demonstration quality dive skill looks like. You are exaggerating the skill so that your student sees everything broken down into sub-skills to master the dive skill.

The skill circuit is listed below:

Equipment assembly, adjustment, preparation, donning and disassembly
Pre dive safety check (BWRAF)
Deep water entry
Buoyancy check at surface
Snorkel to regulator & regulator to snorkel exchange
Five point descent (SORTED)
Regulator recovery and clearing
Mask removal, replacement and clearing
Air depletion exercise and alternate air source use (stationary)
Alternate air source ascent
Free flowing regulator breathing
Neutral buoyancy, using both methods oral & low pressure inflation
Five point ascent
Controlled emergency swimming ascent (CESA)
Hover motionless for 30 seconds
Underwater swim without mask
Remove & replace weight system underwater
Remove & replace scuba unit underwater
Remove & replace scuba unit on the surface
Remove & replace weight system on the surface
Head-first surface dive, snorkel out of mouth
Disconnect low-pressure inflator
Re-secure a loose cylinder band
Perform an emergency weight drop

Curriculum - openwater

Open water presentations are designed to show that you have the control required to teach students in the ocean ensuring students meet performance requirements.

You will learn how to conduct the required skills for the open water, advanced rescue and divemaster courses, giving you the confidence to be able to teach all PADI courses.
