Scuba diving is a fun and challenging experience. That's why trying it on your own without the assistance of a dive instructor can be risky. Unfortunately, most people choose the scuba diving center based on ambiance, price, and equipment and overlook the most important aspect of learning scuba diving, i.e., a trainer. A good diving instructor will inform you of all the major and minor details one should remember while diving. But choosing a good diving instructor among so many can be tricky. Today's article will explain the traits of a good dive instructor in Phuket or elsewhere to help you make an informed decision.

Great Situational Awareness

Firstly, you should know that all scuba divers must have a PADI Certificate in Phuket or anywhere else. But that's not what makes them great. Great scuba divers have excellent situational awareness, which helps them prevent accidents and mishaps. To maintain the team's safety, the scuba divers remain well aware of the nearby environment and updated about the things happening around the group.

Always Energetic

Besides having PADI open water Phuket, a great scuba diver is full of energy all the time. You will usually find them talking, even while diving and swimming; their energy doesn't drain out. They will passionately explain every minute detail of diving during the academic session and still saves the energy of briefing on the diving site.

Adhere to Proper Diving Etiquette

Dive instructors feel immense joy and pride when you come face to face with incredible marine animals. They love showing you the marine beauty and their life. A good diving instructor will never harm the underwater animal to entertain you or showcase his skills. Instead, he/she will stick to the proper dive etiquette while showing you the unique creatures living under the sea. For instance, you should avoid the instructor who harasses underwater creatures like pufferfish, etc., until it inflates to show their defense mechanism.

Patient and Kind

Patience is a virtue, and only disciplined and expert people can gain it. Teaching the same scuba diving technique to different people can be monotonous and tiring, but a great instructor loves teaching and will explain it to you until you get ahold of the technique. Good scuba diving instructors are patient and kind and don't mind explaining the same thing repeatedly. Besides, scuba diving can become super fun if you are at ease with your instructor. That's why a good scuba diving instructor is easy to get along with.

Considering the aforementioned traits while selecting a scuba diving instructor can help you differentiate between a professional scuba diving instructors.
