In a few days you'll begin seeing info appearing about Divers Supply's new SDI DM and Instructor Professional Development Center here in Jacksonville, Fl.

Receive Professional Scuba Instructor training as well as Business Success Training here at the PDC.

We will be offering monthly courses for those that wish to complete their SDI Dive-Master and/or Instructor training in a timely manner. Courses also available include your EFR/CPROX Instructor, Regulator Repair Tech and Nitrox Instructor.

Save hundreds to thousands of dollars vs going way South for your certifications.

Also enjoy the benefits of joining the Divers Supply Instructor Association. It's open to all Instructors from recognized agencies.

Drop me a note here or send a PM for more details and watch for our banner to appear any day now.
 
We are signing up new DMc and IDC candidates for 2014.

The Jan dates are 11-16 for DMc and the IDC is 18-23 with Nitrox Instr on the 24th and the IE on the 25th & 26th.

Check our pricing for your courses and you'll find you can do more for the same $$ at other locations.

We will be visiting shows in 2014 starting with Chicago and NJ in Feb & Mar.

Join us here at the PDC for a weekend SDI Crossover and go home as a DSIA (DiversSupply Instructor Association) Member at no additional cost. We are conducting Crossovers monthly.

Drive or Fly in for the weekend and we'll pick you up at the airport if you'd like. Take the SDI Crossover on Sat. am and be a part of the movement to SDI.

Saturday afternoon tour the PDC and Divers Supply facilities then sit in on the DSIA Business Briefing.

When you know what DSIA means to your Scuba training program you'll understand why we've grown to over 1200 members nation-wide.


... and by the way there is no cost to join DSIA for any active teaching status Instructor from a recognized agency.

Give me a call for details.

Why did Divers Supply switch from PADI?

In particular, I thought Jacksonville was interested in becoming a PADI 5* IDC facility?
 
Hi SubMariner,

We are still teaching PADI
courses up through Dive-Master if someone wishes but have also added SDI.

We now have greater flexibility in training and we taught TDI/ERDI in the past so adding SDI was a good move and now have greater flexibility in training.

For the Instructor and Open Water student, the SDI on line course cost no more than the book course. It can and does save you a couple of hours of review, quiz and testing.

With SDI we have all levels up through and including AI and Instructor, plus numerous Tech courses.

We also conduct SDI Crossovers for those that are interested. These Crossovers are very inexpensive at $299... that includes the Session, Instr Pro Kit and application fee.

Looks like we may be holding Crossovers at the Chicago and NJ Scuba shows in Feb and Mar as well as discussing the DSIA Program at the shows.
