The quality of training in open-water certification courses is highly questionable. Instructors readily admit to cutting corners. Close calls are frequent, even during scuba training courses, and panicking scuba divers are often encountered.
It’s up to each one of us to raise the bar!
I prepared the following Divemaster and Scuba Instructor Creed to remind us of our responsibilities to professionally prepare people for a lifetime of legendary underwater experiences while ensuring safety and fun.
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~Winston Churchill
Statements in this Divemaster & Instructor Creed are inspired by what is explained in the book “Your Career and/or Life as a Scuba Diving Instructor: How to Make a Good Living Out of Your Passion for Scuba Diving!”
