Assistant Instructor

The Assistant Instructor course is a 120-hour programme focused on teaching technique and practical lesson delivery, run under direct observation of Correct Diving's instructors. It requires an I.R.T.D.A. Divemaster brevet, 90 logged dives, and a minimum age of 18.

The theory component covers didactic skills, preparation of theory teaching units, and supervision of diving activities. The written exam has 80 questions. Practical assessment requires running a complete OWD and Dive Orientation Programme course in confined water under direct instructor supervision, plus full OWD, Advanced OWD, and Rescue Diver courses in open water — also under direct observation.

Certification allows the Assistant Instructor to deliver theory sessions for all I.R.T.D.A. courses and assess surface skills during training dives, working under indirect instructor supervision. The base's classroom (24 seats) and wet rooms give the training infrastructure needed for the teaching practice component. Running these courses from the Glavotok bay means the open water dives happen on the house reef walls and surrounding Krk sites that the instructors know well.
