SDI/TDI Instructor Crossover
Already an instructor? Expand your professional qualifications with SDI & TDI.
Are you already a scuba diving instructor with PADI, SSI, CMAS, or another recognised training agency?
An SDI/TDI instructor crossover can provide a pathway for experienced diving professionals who want to add SDI and TDI qualifications to their professional portfolio.
Freddy Jousset provides professional crossover training for experienced instructors, with a focus on understanding the SDI/TDI training philosophy, standards, teaching methodology and administrative requirements.
Rather than simply repeating your existing instructor knowledge, the objective is to help you understand how the SDI/TDI system works and how to apply its standards effectively when teaching.
Step One
Send Freddy your current instructor certifications, professional qualifications and relevant diving experience.
Your existing qualifications are reviewed to determine the most appropriate crossover pathway.
Complete the required SDI/TDI academic preparation and familiarize yourself with the relevant standards, course structure and teaching requirements.
Step Four
Once the required requirements have been successfully completed, you can progress within the SDI/TDI professional system according to your certification level and applicable standards.

-
Training standards

Teaching methodology

Student management

Dive planning
-

Step Three
Complete any practical teaching, evaluation or other requirements applicable to your specific crossover.
Crossover Training With Freddy Jousset
I have worked with diving professionals from different training backgrounds and understand that experienced instructors do not need to start again from zero.
A good crossover should recognise your existing experience while making sure you understand the new agency's standards, procedures and teaching expectations.
My objective is to help instructors make that transition efficiently while developing a genuine understanding of the SDI/TDI system.
The goal is not simply to add another logo to your instructor card. The goal is to understand the system you are joining and become confident teaching within it.

technical qualifications and approximate logged-dive experience.
Your existing experience can then be reviewed to determine the most appropriate SDI/TDI crossover pathway.
