Leadership Courses

Assistant Instructor
The first step in teaching others to scuba dive is the Assistant Instructor Course. Here you will learn to prepare lectures and briefings, demonstrate skills in the pool to instructor quality and learn to handle groups. You will also become proficient in giving underwater guided tours to students learning to dive and watch in excitement as they see their first fish; eye-to-eye!

As an Assistant Instructor you will become an important member of the professional diving community and a role model to all you work with. The basic duty of an Assistant Instructor is to help classroom and water training activities flow smoothly by facilitating the Instructor’s tasks and helping the students. Good AI’s are an instructor’s extra eyes and ears, enhancing safety by helping maintain control and observing student development.

DiveMaster
Do you have strong leadership skills and organizational skills? Then you could lead certified divers on daring dive adventures as a NAUI DiveMaster! During the DiveMaster course you will be challenged and your skills put to the test as you learn to safely conduct diving activities.

Northeast Scuba Supply will guide you in learning to conduct dive briefings, equipment checks and escorting. Your rescue skills will be refreshed as we prepare you to prevent and handle emergencies.

Instructor Preparatory Program
This program includes both instruction and evaluation. Enrollees receive the information needed to prepare for NAUI Instructor Training. They are given knowledge, waterskills and other performance evaluations, critiques and counseling to ensure that they are aware of their state of preparedness for entering NAUI Instructor training.

This is an excellent opportunity for those who are not NAUI Assistant Instructors or DiveMasters to prepare for the NAUI ITC. It is also outstanding program for leadership from other agencies to prepare for the rigors of a NAUI ITC.

Instructor Training Course (ITC)
Join the elite of the Scuba Diving Professionals and become a NAUI Scuba Instructor. Upon successful completion of this demanding course you will be certified to teach the core scuba courses including (but not limited to) Advanced Diver, CPR & First Aid and O2 Provider. You will also be qualified to teach Leadership levels courses such as Assistant Instructor!

Northeast Scuba Supply has a full time NAUI Course Director on staff and offers several programs each year. Besides the regularly scheduled ITC’s a flex schedule can be created to meet your limited timetable.
