Course Director Services

PADI Course Directors are PADI Master Instructors who have taken the next step and joined an elite group of instructor trainers. Course Directors teach PADI Instructor Development Courses (IDCs) and other instructor-level training, and thus are the scuba diving industry’s most influential leaders and role models. This rating is the highest and most respected professional rating in recreational scuba diving.

Tina earned her spot in the 2005 Course Director Training Course (CDTC) held in Malaysia. This course requires a through competitive application process that examines your experience and training goals. Acceptance into a CDTC is only open to a very small group of individuals in the world. Within this group of elite trainers, there is even a small group of Platinum-level trainers and Tina has achieved Platinum status 3 years.

Tina has been a PADI professional for over 30 years and is still passionate about training divers and professionals. Unlike many instructors and Course Directors, she has dove, traveled, and trained divers all over the world in a variety of conditions. This vast knowledge of different types of diving and training allows her to be uniquely qualified to personalize her course to meet the needs of candidates, not to just pass the instructor exam, but to go to their desired areas and teach with confidence.

If you are looking for a Course Director to bring your Instructor Development Courses alive, Tina is available to train in your dive center or resort.
