Finished my NAUI Tech Instructor Training...

Post by BDub »

Yesterday I got signed off as NAUI’s newest Technical Instructor!

For the time being, I’m only going to teach Intro to Tech, as that’s where I feel I can make the biggest impact. Intro focuses on developing the core fundamentals needed for technical diving, creating a solid platform for aspiring technical divers to build on.

I’ve been developing a curriculum for this course for several months, and am now putting the finishing touches on the course structure, materials, etc and am really excited to start teaching!

However, this does mean I’ll be spending less time on the trigger, and more time kicking again #-o

Congradulation Brian, We need more NAUI Tech presence in the area. There are some cool things to see below 130' I am hoping to have my Technical Support Leader pretty soon and would be willing to help you with your classes.
