Innovative Instructors

This page lists all those instructors who have completed a two-day face-to-face class with The Human Diver. Better educated instructors leads to more effective and safer instruction, and more enjoyable diving too. 

To Find an Instructor

This page is arranged in the order in which instructors took the class with me. If you are searching for a particular instructor, use Ctrl-F or Cmd-F and type their name in. Creating a system to display them alphabetically would be complicated, especially as new instructors are added monthly.

Gold Award

These instructors have completed the two-day class and mandate the online course as part of pre-learning for their own courses. Agencies won't do this, so this demonstrates that these instructors recognise the value of human factors and non-technical skills knowledge to improve the safety and performance of their students.

Silver Award

These instructors have undertaken the two-day human factors class and have shown commitment to personal and team development. They don't mandate the online micro-class as part of pre-learning for their classes but do have access to a discount code for those who sign up to their classes.
