Why was my post about the UTD Essentials of Recreational Course moved to the Q&A for agencies forum when clearly I wasn't asking any questions about UTD?
There were questions about NAUI or PADI courses in the Basic Scuba Discussion, they were not moved to Q&A for agencies.
There were questions...
It has been a long time since I posted. I thought I'd post a video of a course I taught recently interviewing the graduates about their experience.
For those interested in taking this course, you can book me through my site www.thinkingdivers.com
Are you thinking about the next course to take to "improve your dive skills"? Then look no further. Let me shamelessly "promote" the UTD's Essentials of Recreational Diving course here ;)
Please enjoy the videos highlights from the first 2 days of the course that I am currently teaching...
Background:
So I have been wanting to do a cave class for the longest time but I do not want to just attend a class with the minimum prerequisite. It is no secret that I am with UTD and so I chose to hone my skills before taking that leap. Last year during DEMA in Orlando, I was with the UTD...
A poll, sort of.
when you dive, do you turn on your air and then back off a quarter of a turn? Why and why not? How many of you do it because your instructor says so? If so, did he or she explain why?
Please bear with me on this one. So after researching, I am down to Witherspoon and Willis. Both seemed reputable but I know the coverage between them is different I.e. claims made vs occurence.
which is "better"?
So, the application says application needs proof of financial responsibility (aka insurance) but you can't get insurance yet without the instructor number. How do you go about it?
Throughout my dive career, the one thing my NAUI instructors (including ITs and CDs) "bragged" about is the academic freedom NAUI offers their instructors. The picture they paint of PADI is that PADI instructors has to follow a very strict progression in terms of how they teach and the order of...
This question is specifically directed to NAUI CDs or rep who is not in the US or North America:
if someone who lives in the USA takes an ITC, say in Asia and gets certified, how do the process go? I know NAUI Asia Pacific and NAUI Europe has certain autonomy, but does the certification comes...
Ok so it's that time of the year again when you will soon receive reminders that your membership is expiring, and its time to renew. So here's the question:
if everything goes well, I should be a new NAUI instructor in about 2 weeks. Is there a value (real and perceived, tangible and...
I'm curious about what happens after being an instructor. While the "career" path of PADI is pretty spelt out explicitly leading to Course Director listing the requirements of each step, the path in NAUI is pretty much the opposite. Nothing can be found on the Internet (I can't find it anyway)...
I have a Xen with HW 1.1 and SW 1.09. I tried to upgrade the firmware recently to 2.25 and while the unit is communicating to the interface, it keeps getting an error 225. I can download the log no problem but just unable to upgrade the firmware. Can someone please help?
I am right in the middle of my NAUI ITC (or am I beginning? I don't even know!) and my CD is at the stage of drilling me with "writing a lesson plan from scratch" which is fine and all but here my questions:
My CD knows but is not very fond of the idea that my personal configuration is...
Does anyone at CMAS Americas ever picks up the phone or at least return a call? I have called 3 times (the number listed on the website) and left 3 messages over 2 months, and not once did anyone representing CMAS Americas got back to me.
