DAN Instructor Course Pre-Requisites
DAN Instructors are scuba diving educators who want to offer dive safety programs to their students. To become a DAN Instructor, you must participate in a DAN Instructor Qualification Course (IQC).
The IQC follows a modular format. There is a Core Module and then a separate module representing each training program. You can take the Core Module and one course module - whatever you are interested in teaching.
