Teach People NOT Courses
Being a PADI Instructor is not about “ticking boxes” and simply going through the motions.
Your customers have come to you because they trust you to teach them to dive, and give them new experiences.
Learn how other people learn
As you gain experience in teaching others, you’ll find new ways to teach people according to their individual needs.
For some instructors, it’s the most important and exciting part of the job!
You learn a lot about other people, and you learn a lot about yourself.
Continue your education
As you improve, you can move higher up the ladder, to a position where you can teach other people to become instructors.
Teach People NOT Courses
To be the BEST Instructor in the world, you need to be different!
It’s obvious really. If you simply copied what other instructors did, you would only be the same as them.
Being the BEST means that you need to be different.
You can be effective, popular and successful.

Where can you take your PADI IDC?
Cristal Seas Scuba Ltd is based in Norwich in the UK. They have TWO course directors! and have a warm purpose built pool on site. Ideal for all professional PADI courses.
If you’re looking to take your PADI IDC in Europe or in Egypt, I strongly suggest you see what Chris Azab has to offer.
She is a terrific Course Director, and together with her Master Instructor Wahid, teaches IDCs in Europe and Egypt.
If you’re in the UK and would like to take your IDC in East Anglia, then you’ll be well looked after by Trudi Innes.
She’s a natural teacher and a fantastic communicator

Who is Steve Prior?
Steve Prior
Steve Prior is a PADI Course Director (PADI 53442).
He has been awarded Platinum Status for 12 consecutive years.
He founded his own PADI 5 star centre, and has managed large dive centres in Egypt and Indonesia.
He has issued over 5,700 PADI certifications. Mostly at professional level.
Everything changed in Steve’s life back in July 1992.
That’s when he became a PADI Instructor.
To say it changed his life is an understatement. Because his passion is to help other scuba divers reach the highest goals of their dreams.
Life Coaching
He became a PADI Course Director in October 2000. That led to the study of psychology that transformed his IDCs.
They became more like life coaching sessions. Consequently, hundreds of current PADI Instructors are enjoying the success of helping others to learn.
Coaching Academy
Steve’s passion led him to developing a Coaching Academy for PADI professionals.
Here people learn how to coach their students by allowing them to learn.
That way, they can’t do anything other than learn using their own preferred learning style.
