Have you ever dreamed of turning the ocean into your office? Choosing to become a dive instructor is more than just a career decision. It is an adventure that gives you freedom, travel opportunities, and a lifestyle built around the sea.

Why Choose to Become a Dive Instructor in Kenya

Great Reasons to Become a Dive Instructor

A career with freedom

Dive instructors do not spend their lives tied to an office. Your workplace is the ocean, your schedule is flexible, and every day brings something new.

Work anywhere in the world

When you become a dive instructor you open the door to global opportunities. Resorts, islands, and dive centres across the world are always looking for qualified professionals.

Share your passion

As an instructor you get to change lives. You will introduce people to the underwater world, help them grow their confidence, and inspire them to protect the ocean.

Join a global community

Diving connects you with people everywhere who share the same love for the sea. Becoming a dive instructor makes you part of a worldwide professional network.

Continuous growth

Every student and every dive makes you a better diver. You will expand your experience, add specialties, and grow into leadership roles as your career develops.

Ocean Tribe offers twelve ITC packages to match your needs. From streamlined training-only options to all-inclusive bundles with accommodation and equipment, there is a tier for every future dive professional. Essential and Elite Gear Pack tiers provide complete scuba sets for those who want to graduate ready to teach with their own kit.

FAQs

How long does the ITC take?

The program runs for around two weeks, including preparation, training, and the Instructor Evaluation.

Do I need to be a Divemaster already?

Can I start working after the ITC?
