The team that will train you
We are all about your personal diving instructor career. Together we create a lesson plan that perfectly fits your goals and pace, supported by a learning contract so you always know where you stand. But we go further: we not only help you get your instructor certification, but also guide you to your first job in the diving industry. Just like a driver's license, the first steps as an instructor are very important. You develop your own style and learn what part of being an instructor makes you most happy. Thus, you will not only be educated, but prepared for the most fun places to work and grow in the world of diving.
PADI Course Director
With a background in top consulting and extensive experience in mentoring young talents, I have always had a passion for personal development and education. My diving adventure began in 2000, and since 2013 I have been active as a PADI instructor. Sharing knowledge and training new divers gives me immense satisfaction, and I love guiding others through their first steps in the underwater world. Currently I have the honor to provide instructor training at idcutrecht.nl, where I can combine my passion for training and guiding with my love for diving.
Eigenaar van Diveplace
In 2023, I fulfilled my lifelong dream by taking over Diveplace. This step, driven by passion for diving, marks for me not only the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish, but also a source of inexhaustible energy.
You are not the first
These divers have gone before you. Diveplace is a highly screwed diving school with a large diving association that supports every diver in his hobby and sport. As an instructor training candidate at IDCUtrecht you will work with real diving students from Diveplace and encounter realistic scenarios that you will also experience in your diving career. We call this the practice guarantee. Below some reviews from divers:
