Curriculum - confined water

Confined water presentations are designed to teach you how to introduce and teach skills students need to master in order to learn to scuba dive.

You will learn how to describe skills, demonstrate dive skills, look out for common mistakes made by students and most importantly ensure your students can master everything in confined water before proceeding to the open water.

pool training

The 24 PADI dive skills of the skill circuit are:

Have a pool or body of water, then prepare yourself for the PADI skill circuit.

I urge you to work on your buoyancy, especially that hover... Check out the videos below to show you what a demonstration quality dive skill looks like. You are exaggerating the skill so that your student sees everything broken down into sub-skills to master the dive skill.

The skill circuit is listed below:

  • Equipment assembly, adjustment, preparation, donning and disassembly

  • Pre dive safety check (BWRAF)

  • Deep water entry

  • Buoyancy check at surface

  • Snorkel to regulator & regulator to snorkel exchange

  • Five point descent (SORTED)

  • Regulator recovery and clearing

  • Mask removal, replacement and clearing

  • Air depletion exercise and alternate air source use (stationary)

  • Alternate air source ascent

  • Free flowing regulator breathing

  • Neutral buoyancy, using both methods oral & low pressure inflation

  • Five point ascent

  • Controlled emergency swimming ascent (CESA)

  • Hover motionless for 30 seconds

  • Underwater swim without mask

  • Remove & replace weight system underwater

  • Remove & replace scuba unit underwater

  • Remove & replace scuba unit on the surface

  • Remove & replace weight system on the surface

  • Head-first surface dive, snorkel out of mouth

  • Disconnect low-pressure inflator

  • Re-secure a loose cylinder band

  • Perform an emergency weight drop

Curriculum - open water

Open water presentations are designed to show that you have the control required to teach students in the ocean ensuring students meet performance requirements.

You will learn how to conduct the required skills for the open water, advanced rescue and divemaster courses, giving you the confidence to be able to teach all PADI courses.
