This course will prepare you to teach the DSAT Tec Trimix diver course, one of the highest instructional ratings in the PADI system of diver education and a much sought after and distinguished rating.  The Tec Trimix Instructor training course will review your understanding of the academic knowledge presented in both ‘Tec Trimix Diver’ course to 100% mastery and hone you’re teaching skills with technical academic teaching presentations and open water teaching presentations.  Our in house DSAT Trimix Instructor trainer will guide you through all the materials for the program and the standards and procedures for conducting the course.  As an Instructor candidate you will demonstrate role model performance of several training dives from the ‘Trimix diver’ course and complete practical applications under supervision to ensure total understanding of the subject matter of the trimix diver course and build upon your skills and knowledge as a Tec Deep Instructor.  The final part of the Instructor training course involves you evaluating peer students in training and passing an Instructor theory and standards exam.  The duration of the Trimix Instructor training course is approximately 6-7 days.
