PADI's Guide to Teaching PADI’s Guide to Teaching Product No. 70513 (Rev. 11/13) Version 1.02 PADI’s Guide to Teaching © PADI 2014 Portions of the Appendix of this guide may be reproduced by PADI Members for use in PADI-sanctioned training, but not for resale or personal gain. No other reproduction is allowed without the express written permission of PADI. Published and distributed by PADI 30151 Tomas Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688-2125 USA Printed in USA Product No. 70513 (Rev. 11/13) Version 1.02 Scuba diving can never be entirely risk-free. However, by adhering to the philosophy and teaching techniques outlined within this manual whenever training or supervising divers who participate in PADI courses and programs, PADI Members can provide a strong platform from which divers and novices can learn to manage those risks and have fun in the process. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL PADI’s Guide to Teaching is a companion piece to the PADI Instructor Manual. While the Instructor Manual lists required standards, PADI’s Guide to Teaching provides explanations, teaching techniques and suggested approaches to meeting those standards. It contains the “how to” information about fulfilling course requirements. Use the four sections in PADI’s Guide to Teaching in conjunction with the PADI Instructor Manual to conduct PADI courses and programs. When preparing to teach a PADI course or program, particularly those you don’t conduct on a regular basis, you’ll find the reminders in this manual valuable in helping you organize training sessions and dives. The manual also provides guidance about handling special circumstances, such as helping a student diver with a learning disability or assisting a student diver returning after an interruption in training. Being familiar with what information is in this manual will make it a beneficial instructional tool that you’ll use often. You begin using PADI’s Guide to Teaching in your instructor development program and will continue to use it throughout your teaching career. The following outlines what’s in the manual and how you can effectively find information in it. Teaching Techniques Most of the section consists of conduct and skill recommendation for all core PADI courses and several programs. Look for a course or program overview followed by general considerations, sequencing information and specific directions for teaching skills and conducting confined and open water dives. Two additional subsections offer general teaching techniques and considerations for special circumstances, plus organizational suggestions to make the best use of time and resources while teaching. Philosophy and Approach This section discusses the PADI organization and the PADI System of diver education. It also reviews PADI’s approach to risk management and the quality management, assurance and recognition program. There’s information about training dive leaders and other important references about instructional approach and philosophy. Membership Procedures Refer to this section when you need reminders about how to order certification cards from your PADI Regional Headquarters and other general procedural information. Instructor Development This section’s primary purpose is to support the instructor development process, although the worksheets and guidelines are useful anytime you prepare to teach a course.

Because there may be several techniques you can use to accomplish a performance requirement, these are suggestions to help your student divers meet their goals. Use creativity and your own teaching preferences to guide divers. These recommendations directly support (but do not include all of) the PADI Diver course standards in the PADI Instructor Manual. For this reason, it’s important that you reference the PADI Instructor Manual for the specific course performance requirements. Teaching Techniques 10 Open Water Diver Course Conduct and Skill Recommendations The PADI Open Water Diver course teaches student divers the foundational knowledge and skills they need to dive with a buddy, independent of supervision. Your primary objective is to put safety first — the safety of your student divers, staff and your own safety in the planning, organization and conduct of the course. OVERVIEW — CONFINED WATER DIVES In confined water, student divers apply what they’ve learned through knowledge development by practicing basic dive skills in a relatively controlled environment. When teaching in confined water, create a fun and exciting experience that keeps motivation and enthusiasm high. Confined water dives open the door to the fun your divers signed up for and set the stage for future learning. Confined water is where divers begin developing their confidence as well as their competence. Open Water Diver course skills are sequenced from simple to more complex. As you introduce skills, be aware of diver motivation and readiness and allow for repetition and practice until skills are mastered. General Suggestions Since the goal of confined water dives is to provide the skills base for making the transition to open water dives, simulate open water diving as much as possible throughout confined water sessions. 1. Make it fun. Student divers learn better, learn faster, face challenges with more enthusiasm and become comfortable with diving quickly if they have fun. How you accomplish this depends on your personal style. Humor, good-natured games and similar methods make learning entertaining as well as relevant. Simple ideas motivate divers, such as giving them snapshot cameras to play with during “minidives” or having someone not involved in training video their confined water dives to watch afterward. 2. Tell student divers you’re helping them learn open water dive habits. By focusing on this goal, it’s easier to actively take part in learning. Statements such as “the ocean isn’t as flat and calm as this, so let’s make a habit of keeping our masks on and our snorkels in our mouth” benefit learning much more than simple instructions to keep masks on and snorkels in. Also, as divers gain buoyancy control, begin to introduce and practice skills in mid-water or while divers gently rest on fins tips, instead of kneeling stationary on the bottom. This adds realism, builds confidence and creates good dive habits. PADI’s Guide to Teaching

    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.

  • Noaa Diving Program Unit Diving
    NOAA DIVING PROGRAM UNIT DIVING SUPERVISOR Operational Guidelines Revised 22 September 2015 Andrew W. David, Fisheries LODO A Message from the NOAA Diving Control and Safety Board The Unit Diving Supervisor is the most important position in the NOAA Diving Program. You are the final arbiter for all diving related activities at your unit: when dives occur, how the dives are executed, and who goes in the water. You are also the conduit between the NOAA Diving Control and Safety Board and your divers, explaining policies and procedures down the chain and elevating concerns and needs up the chain. Many things will be required of you as UDS. Some are tangible; others are intangible. The tangible items are listed in the following pages – which reports you need to complete, the forms required for a range of situations, etc. However the intangible requirements are far more important and impossible to define in a manual. These skills are acquired over time, and require diligence, constant attention, and the avoidance of complacency. Your decision making skills define your performance as a UDS. People’s lives depend on the decisions you make. The toughest part of the job will be to maintain safety as your highest priority and not let friendships or pressure from project leaders or supervisors exert undue influence. You are not alone in this position, your LODO/SODO and the Safety Board will back you up on tough calls. Use these resources often. The remainder of this manual is devoted to the tangible items you will use to administer the UDS duties.
