↳ 03 · Frequently asked questions
A career plan?Let's talk about your current level and your goals.
Yes, absolutely. SDI (Scuba Diving International) is a member of the RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council) and the EUF. Your certification is recognised worldwide, just like PADI or SSI. You'll be able to work at any dive centre, from the Maldives to Thailand and across Europe.
No, it's a logical bridge. We don't teach you to dive again; we train you in the SDI/TDI philosophy and teaching system. The Crossover is intensive but short (usually 2 to 3 days), focused on standards, student management and the teaching freedom our agency offers.
For the quality of the mentoring. At a resort, it's often a production line. At Neotec, you're trained by a technical Course Director. You'll learn not only to teach, but also to run the business side of diving, sell courses and adopt the operational rigour of technical diving. You'll stand out on the job market.
No. You can become a Recreational Instructor (OWSI) without any technical diving experience. However, training at a technical centre will give you far-above-average ease and equipment control (buoyancy, trim), which will make you a better teacher.
Yes. The Course Director's role doesn't end when the certificate is handed over. Sébastien Wilem has an extensive international network. We help our candidates write their professional CV, advise them on destinations and can recommend them to partner centres looking for quality instructors.
