Fast-Track to Teach (Early 2025)

I came back to Project Laut for the Fast-Track to Teach after doing my Divemaster here, and it was the right call. The course was lean, intense, and focused on exactly what a new instructor needs: standards, safety, and clean, neutrally buoyant demos that hold up in real ocean conditions.

Day one set the tone with clear objectives, a tight schedule, and immediate coaching. We rotated through micro-teaches, confined-to-open water progressions, rescue refreshers, and daily standards quizzing. Every demo was filmed and reviewed; every mistake had a fix and a drill. Briefings, risk management, control and positioning, problem anticipation. I also shadowed real courses and ran parts of them, which made the jump from candidate to instructor feel natural.

Joma and Sita don’t sugar-coat. You get direct feedback, a plan, and reps until it sticks. By exam time, demos were automatic, standards were second nature, and my debriefs were concise and useful. I passed on the first go and—more importantly—felt ready to take a class the next day.
