teaching kids
building divers from the ground up

eaching a group of four divers is sometimes a challenge.
Teaching a group of 24 divers puts you to the test but it is a lot
of fun. Our dive center had good relations with a few schools
in the past, but since we started with teaching them in the
UTD/DIR way the numbers kept growing and growing.
It is both changeling and a lot of fun teaching these kids about
the physics and physiology involved with diving. Having
taught diving for the biggest part of my life, I still find it interesting how you have to adapt to the ever changing demand of
the students. The examples you have to give and analogies you
make to drive your point home changes almost every time you
step in front of a new class of kids.
