A diving instructor is a professional scuba diver who trains and evaluates the competence of scuba divers. All training, programs and courses follow the guidelines and standards set by the diving agency and the instructor is in charge of making sure the guidelines is being followed and respected.
Each instructor, while following the guidelines of the diving agency, still finds their very own way of how they are comfortable with teaching each course. After all, if we all just read of a book - we might as well just hand over the book!
The first scuba diving instructor recorded started way back in 1953 in the United Kingdom with two gentlemen called Jack Atkinson and Colin McLeod. As you might imagine, these things and ideas weren’t common back then and they’d gotten the idea from being in the military and had decided they wanted to share the joy that scuba diving was with the common public!
The world's first female scuba diving instructor came in 1955, Dottie Frazier who also became the first female scuba diver to own and operate her own dive shop, Dottie also worked with the US military designing wetsuits and dry suits for both military and recreational divers.
