What Makes a Great Instructor? Insights from My Years of Training Divers

IDC Candidates in Classroom in Khao Lak Thailand

I’ve met so many divers who are curious about technical diving but hesitant — thinking it’s only for elite divers or adrenaline junkies.

It isn’t.

Technical divers are thinkers.
They’re planners.
They’re people who care about doing things properly.

If you’ve got solid buoyancy, situational awareness, and a desire to understand your diving rather than just do it — you’re already halfway there.

Here’s how most divers start the progression:

  • AOW

  • Rescue

  • Nitrox

  • Deep

  • Then Tec 40

At Tec 40, everything changes — your awareness expands, your thinking deepens, and you start to appreciate the beauty of disciplined diving.

You don’t have to be fearless or intense.
You just need to be curious and committed.
