Become a Diving Instructor in Kenya

Dive CoursesGo ProBecome a Diving Instructor in Kenya

Dreaming of a life where your office is the ocean, your job is to inspire others, and your commute involves boat rides and coral reefs? It might be time to become a diving instructor in Kenya. This September, Ocean Tribe is offering a professional opportunity that can change your life – our next SSI Instructor Training Course (ITC) begins on 1st September in Diani Beach, one of the most stunning diving destinations on the East African coast.

Why Kenya?

Kenya is more than safari and savannah – beneath the waves lies a vibrant marine world full of healthy coral reefs, tropical fish, turtles, and the occasional passing dolphin. With warm waters all year round, low dive traffic, and short boat rides to the reef, it’s a paradise for divers and an ideal location for your instructor journey.

Unlike crowded training grounds in Asia or the Caribbean, Diani offers space to focus on your skills, small group training, and real teaching experience with an international mix of divers.

About the Instructor Training Course at Ocean Tribe

Ocean Tribe is an SSI Diamond Instructor Training Centre, based at Alliance Safari Beach Hotel. The September ITC is led by Instructor Trainer Mark Slingo, an award-winning educator who has worked globally and specializes in training adaptive diving professionals.

This Instructor Training Course (ITC) is not just about passing an exam – it’s about becoming a confident, employable dive professional ready to teach around the world. You’ll develop your skills in real-world conditions, train with modern equipment, and get career guidance to help launch your diving career.

Course Dates: Starts 1st September 2025

Location: Ocean Tribe, Diani Beach, Kenya
