Team-Teach to Perfection
To gain your MSDT rating you will need to have a minimum of 25 Diving certifications under your belt. Unlike other dive centers that either don’t include team teaching or will consider your internship finished once you have reached the minimum of that 25, we offer you the opportunity to team-teach as many courses as you need, gaining confidence and proficiency with each session.
From the entry level Open Water Diver course, to Rescue diver or PADI specialty diver courses – there are no limits on the variety or amount of team teaches. This approach follows PADI’s ethos on performance based learning and ensures you are well-prepared to lead your own courses independently.
You will have the opportunity to try various teaching methods, helping you to formulate your own unique and effective style of instruction. This personal touch will make your courses more engaging and memorable for you and your students.
The MSDT Internship program involves team teaching all levels of PADI diver courses alongside our experienced Instructional team here at Crystal Dive.
During the first course that you ‘team teach’, you will present 1-2 modules of both knowledge development & confined water training, help student divers overcome learning difficulties in the classroom, whilst problem solving & correcting student divers in the pool.
During the Open water training dives you will conduct skill repetition and also lead the final training dive of the course. We will give you more responsibility in line with your performance as you progress through the Internship.
As your confidence increases, so will your teaching skills. Don’t forget about your organisation skills too, they will become much smoother.
Real Experience with Real Students
Participate as an instructor with actual students, giving you a taste of real-world teaching scenarios. This hands-on experience is crucial in preparing you for the diverse situations you’ll encounter as a professional instructor.
With each course you will have the chance to take on more responsibility, and receive detailed feedback and advice to aid your progression.
As one of the 10 busiest dive centres worldwide you will have a chance to teach courses without unnecessary delays in your time frame.
As well we will give you an insight in training & coaching of our Divemaster candidates, scoring and evaluating Skill-Circuits and Workshops, a valuable experience for your future employment.
Efficiency Meets Standards
Learn the art of efficient scheduling while strictly adhering to PADI standards. Our program teaches you to maximize your time and resources, ensuring you provide top-quality training without compromising safety or standards.
Learn techniques that enhance diver safety and teach PADI courses both safely and efficiently. Your ability to ensure student safety while maintaining high teaching standards is a hallmark of a Crystal Dive-trained instructor.
Our program is designed to make you stand out among CVs and resumes. As a Crystal Dive graduate, you’ll be recognized for your comprehensive training and exceptional skill set.
As a more versatile and adaptable instructor, you’ll be an invaluable asset to any dive center. Your ability to teach a wide range of courses and specialties makes you a prime candidate for leading dive teams.
Learn from the Best to Be the Best
Gain invaluable experience and insider tips from our team of highly experienced instructors. All our instructors hold the PADI MSDT rating or higher and have been trained inhouse to ensure continuity in our training standards.
