Specialty instructors:
Teaching Specialties is a way to develop your diving interests. You get to escape clearing masks in a shallow bay and start doing the type of diving that fascinates you. If you think back to when you started diving it was probably driven by a fascination with Jacques Cousteau documentaries and the like. The stuff about diving that fascinates us is diving at night, deep diving or using Diver Propulsion Vehicles, technical diving, a deeper understanding of the underwater environment or the chance to capture it all on film. Not clearing a mask or recovering a regulator. Specialty instructors have the training to develop a student divers' interests in the types of diving we find fascinating.
Mark Soworka can teach you a wide range of instructor specialties. Specialty Instructor courses can be conducted separately or in conjunction with the MSDT options 1 and 2.
