diving instructor

Underwater skills coach

A diving instructor is a certified professional who teaches scuba diving or other underwater diving techniques.

They train students in equipment use, safety procedures, underwater navigation, and emergency protocols.

Certification from organizations like PADI or SSI is typically required: Our diving instructor took us through the basics in the pool before our open-water dive.
