About The Diving Standard
Better Divers. Better Instructors. Better Diving.
The Diving Standard (TDS) is an education and development community for scuba divers and instructors who want to keep improving.
It isn't about collecting certifications or being told there is only one correct way to dive. It's about understanding what you do, why you do it, and how you can do it better.
Inside TDS you'll find practical videos, micro-courses, workbooks and discussions covering buoyancy, trim, propulsion, equipment, dive planning, technical diving, problem solving and more.
For instructors, we go beyond teaching standards and skill demonstrations. We explore how people learn, how to coach individuals, manage attention, pace training, recognise when a skill is good enough, and know when to push, adapt or simply go diving.
TDS isn't about creating identical divers or instructors. Different approaches work for different people, environments and objectives.
