During the program Holly delivers the required PADI curriculum components in her own style whilst also adding a range of presentations and workshops which include her personal recommendations and tips based upon her own experiences within the industry.

The program aims to provide training over and above that generally found within the dive industry meaning that new instructors have developed their own diving skills and knowledge and developed their own style of delivery and can easily make the transition into the industry with the confidence and knowledge to succeed.
