To become a UTD Equipment Instructor you must first be a certified Scuba instructor with a worldwide
recognized training agency. You will need to add UTD International, LLC to your current instructor liability
insurance policy.
UTD Equipment Instructors are trained and qualified through UTD to provide education about UTD Equipment and how to market the “new” programs within your local community.
For example, teaching the Side Mount Z-System as a UTD Equipment Instructor you will focus on gear
assembly and fitting, basic operation in the water, and emergency procedures. The Z-System Side Mount
Equipment course does not delve into the skills that are covered in the Side Mount Essentials courses – buoyancy, trim, propulsion, personal and team skills, etc. The UTD Equipment Education Program is designed
just to teach the operation of the equipment.
A Stand Up Paddle Board instructor can teach SUP not only as a stand alone class, but as an add on to your
current scuba or snorkeling classes, or just simply as a dive tour.
UTD Equipment Instructors are fully supported by UTD International LLC with materials, student completion certificates, and the ability to purchase insurance.
