Q: What are your thoughts on including conservation elements in professional diving courses such as the PADI Instructor program? 

Walter: For me, conservation isn’t just a side topic; it’s the very foundation of everything we do as divers. We don’t just visit the ocean or explore caves; we become part of these environments every time we dive. This means we bear a responsibility to protect and preserve these ecosystems for the future.

I’ve spent most of my life underwater, observing the vibrant life and intricate balance of marine and freshwater habitats. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when ecosystems are respected and carefully managed, and I’ve also seen the profound impacts of neglect and careless behavior. For example, I’ve witnessed bull sharks returning to local reefs thanks to improved protection efforts, and I’ve seen whale sharks attempting to navigate migration routes that are packed with boats chasing them. I’ve also seen the silent collapse of cave systems caused by bad habits, pollution, or simply a lack of awareness about their fragility — all illustrating how interconnected these environments truly are.

Because of these experiences, I firmly believe that conservation must be a core component of professional diver training. As instructors and Divemasters, we serve as role models. Students look up to us, imitate what they observe, and absorb the values we demonstrate—sometimes more than what we explicitly teach. If we don’t lead by example and instill a sense of care and responsibility, we risk creating more divers who lack the knowledge or the motivation to act sustainably.

In my courses, I emphasize all the PADI conservation specialties, along with an additional focus on specific species, such as bull sharks, whale sharks, manta rays, and turtles. Currently, I’m developing a dedicated conservation awareness course specifically for caves. These delicate ecosystems are often overlooked in broader conservation efforts, yet caves are vital habitats, culturally significant, and closely connected to freshwater sources that sustain both wildlife and human communities.

Ultimately, if you genuinely love diving and exploring the ocean or caves, protecting these amazing places should be a fundamental priority. It’s a simple but powerful truth: our passion depends on the health of these ecosystems, and it’s our responsibility to ensure they thrive for generations to come.

Business Owner and Natural Leader  

Even as a kid, Aitor knew he was meant to be outside in nature. His early obsession with rock climbing and white water kayaking took him around the world, guiding trips and experiencing different cultures from Nepal to Central America. He opened his first business, Guadalkayak, in his 20’s and grew it into a thriving water adventure company in Southern Spain. Each year, Aitor took time off to travel, and he found diving while exploring Thailand. While training to become a PADI Divemaster, he saw how sustainable diving as a sport was, especially in regards to physical health and longevity. 

One moment in particular stuck out when he saw an older man teaching an Open Water Course, and Aitor could see a real future in the industry. “It felt like a sign that if I switch careers, I could do this forever,” Aitor always tells IDC students. “Kayaking was fun, but it’s hard on the body… and it’s dangerous. Diving has always felt adaptable and sustainable. I can do technical diving or keep it simple with recreational courses. It has always felt like an industry where I can grow and be really happy sharing my passion.” Upon the sale of his business in Spain, he pursued professional development as an instructor and hasn’t looked back. 

Aitor is not only a mentor but a dedicated student who constantly challenges himself to learn new skills, improve his teaching techniques, and be present for his students. “Becoming a scuba instructor pushes you into a world that could never bore you. There are always new places to explore, people to meet, and skills to learn. And the best part is the instant community you have with other dive professionals. We all have found something that fires us up, and an instant bond is made no matter where in the world you meet.”

A Wild Ride in the Scuba Industry

Aitor knew he wanted to be a PADI Course Director from the time he passed his Instructor Exam. 

After developing a reputation for thorough Instructor Development Courses in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, Aitor opened the dive shop Azul Unlimited in Indonesia. He was building a leading market for IDCs in Komodo when COVID shut down Indonesia for two years. This shift made him look to other locations that were still operating, and his former student, Dive Ninja Founder Jay Clue, was in need of a dive shop manager, which eventually led into Aitor guiding the professional training programs at Dive Ninjas. One thing that Aitor always stresses to his students is to be adaptable and have diverse skills. One dream can be lost, and new opportunities take its place. Now, Aitor is pleased to take his ideas and passion from his own business and help Dive Ninjas grow in new ways while supporting their overall goal of using tourism to support ocean conservation.

What’s the best part of the IDC?

Aitor has gotten to teach IDCs in Mexico and Indonesia, but his favorite part of the course has nothing to do with the location–it’s all about the people.

“I love getting to know my IDC students and helping them reach their goals. Each person comes from a different background with varying abilities. It’s fascinating to help each person discover their strengths and further develop any weak points in their knowledge. My goal is to turn out well-rounded, professional scuba instructors who are passionate about ocean conservation. The program at Dive Ninja Expeditions provides an environment to build lifelong professional relationships and friendships between staff and students.”

Training responsible scuba instructors is key to expanding advocacy for our oceans. Wherever our PADI professionals travel or work, they are another touchpoint to conservation and share that passion with their own students. The work behind protecting the oceans we love can feel daunting, but shared work feels lighter. As part of the IDC with Dive Ninja Expeditions, Instructor Candidates will participate in extra workshops including a shark & ray tourism workshop with Dr. Frida Lara. You will also receive the PADI Whale Defender Instructor distinctive specialty, which was developed by the Dive Ninja team.

When Aitor isn’t teaching an IDC, he runs the operations at Dive Ninja Expeditions and in his free time, he explores the beautiful beaches in Los Cabos with his dog Chalá.

Even the original Ninja himself, Jay Clue, was blown away. Saying, “I’m at a loss for words. I can’t believe our small shop was able to make it in the top 10, let alone take first place in every possible category. It’s such a special feeling to see all our hard work pay off and to show that a tiny conservation focused dive shop could rank alongside the much bigger, heavier hitters in a region packed with so much of the world’s best diving. All I can say is thank you so much to all of the amazing ninjas around the world that have supported us over the years.”, 

Team Ninja will receive their 7 awards at this years DEMA Show in Orlando, Florida taking place November 1-4, 2022 at the Orange County Convention Center.

Get Experience

When it comes to diving, experience is key and the more you have the better. Apply what you’ve learned and build your confidence as a divemaster. Gain experience in the industry and try to expose yourself to various diving conditions and environments.

Review Your Divemaster Materials & Skill Circuit

Review your divemaster materials including dive theory, ERDP, different types of knots, and skill circuit! There’s a lot of resources online and practice tests you can do as well as demos on YouTube you can watch to help you out.

Have Your Own Gear

This one isn’t required for the IDC but it’s highly recommended as a dive professional in general. Having your own gear can give you confidence during IDC skill presentations and demonstrations. It’s nice to be able to genuinely recommend things to people and also allows you to pull from real examples.

Reach Out to PADI Instructors

Reach out to the ones that have done the IDC in general or even those that have done the program at the specific dive shop you’ve chosen. Divers are a unique type of humans that love to share our experience so don’t hesitate to ask! They can provide you insights on the program structure as well as about the course directors.

Build a Relationship with a Dive Shop

If you’re choosing a different dive shop from where you did your divemaster training, try to build a relationship before the IDC. Arrange some local dives, get to know the operations and meet the team to familiarize yourself with the operations and the people.

Enjoy the Process

Finally, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the process! You may think that you need to be 100% ready beforehand but the truth is the IDC and your course director is there to help you in the process. You don’t have to be perfect–you just have to be passionate, driven and open to learning from your mistakes.

Cost vs Quality

Spend some time in the dive industry, and you’ll notice that it’s an increasingly crowded field, with new dive operations opening, and others failing, all the time.  To be successful, somehow a dive operation (and this can be a huge dive centre, or a one man band that you setup independently post your IE) needs to standout, to both attract and retain customers.  Commercially, there are two main ways to do this – either compete to provide the lowest cost, or standout by providing the highest quality.  Now, competing on cost is problematic, as inevitably corners will be cut, intentional or not – which isn’t great as this may compromise safety.  In our view, the better, and more sustainable way to standout is by providing high quality experiences and services. 

What is High Quality?

So what does high quality mean in this context?  Well, customers want good experiences and excellent training – so that needs to be a huge check.  And safety of course, shouldn’t be taken for granted, so another big check.  But today’s increasingly more discerning and environmentally aware customers also want assurance that their leisure activities will not have a negative impact on the environment.  This is where a dive offering with genuine sustainable tourism and conservation practices credentials can really stand out.  Increasingly, divers understand that doing things the right way costs a bit more. But they also remain loyal to operators that they trust will ensure that their environmental practices are truly green.

Unique experiences

By building on experiences focusing on nature interpretation, conservation and citizen science type activities, you as a dive professional, will be able to offer your customers something different.  Not only are their leisure activities not having a negative environmental impact – citizen science actually turns the dial all the way up the other way, and ensures that their holiday fun time actually contributes positively.  Customers are able to take part in and contribute to real scientific research – allowing them to make a difference and be part of the solution.  Customers will choose activities and holidays that tie in with their personal values, and increasingly conservation and citizen science led activities such as Dive Against Debris, and local partnerships with marine researchers fit the bill.

Long Term Thinking

By operating sustainably and prioritising conservation over simple profit, dive professionals are ensuring that there is a longer term future in the industry.  Sustainable practises, such as not dropping anchor on a reef, may take more time and effort, but it ensures that the marine environment thrives year after year, and the dive sites will flourish and delight divers for generations to come.  Cabo Pulmo is a shining example of this – by establishing and enforcing community owned sustainable practises and monitoring, the biomass of the reef has increased by nearly 500%, and it is now a premier diving destination.  

Inspiration

As a professional dive instructor, knowing and believing that you are working in a sustainable and conservation minded way provides a boost to your confidence and motivation.  We all know that the dive industry is not perfect, but you at least, are working in a positive, higher standard way – protecting the marine environment that we all love, while at the same time sharing it with delighted customers.  It makes it much easier to get out of bed in the morning when you are not only doing something you love, but also sharing that passion with other like minded divers.  Plus, you role as a PADI Divemaster or Instructor gives you the opportunity to inspire the next generation of divers to love and take care of the underwater world! You can create lasting impacts as those new divers grow and go on to share what they’ve learned from you with their friends and family – or maybe even their guests & students when they one day decide to follow your lead and become a dive instructor! By focusing on sustainable tourism and conservation you not only become a role model in the industry, but a massive force for change.

From the Big City to the Diving Industry  

In his early 20’s, Anders had a successful career at a marketing firm in Copenhagen with all the perks of big city living- nice car, salary, luxury lifestyle, nightlife, etc. However, the rat race had its costs- working 16 hour days, stress, unhealthy habits, and burnout to name a few. When he was 23, he did his PADI Open Water Course in the North Sea while working in Copenhagen. “Everybody thought I was crazy, the water was freezing, but it was a way for me to temporarily escape the rat race, zone out of work, not bound by the limits of gravity,” explains Heegaard. This temporary fix didn’t last, and it wasn’t long before he bought a flight to Thailand to become a PADI Divemaster in Koh Tao.  “I thought I just needed a break, maybe 6 months or a year, but the diving industry allowed me to see beyond the hamster wheel, to create a different life. It was the hardest and the best thing I ever did. To leave everything behind- my family, my stuff, my house and car, and the whole lifestyle to start a new life,” says Anders. 

The Journey to the Top

Originally, Anders only wanted to become a divemaster, but then things changed. “I found myself moving up to the next level in diving because it was a challenge, and I needed to keep challenging myself,” says Anders. After teaching thousands of introductory PADI courses, he moved to Utila, Honduras where he became a PADI IDC Staff Instructor. Three years later he went on to Turks and Caicos to become a Course Director. He then worked as a Course Director at Pro Dive Mexico, where he also lead technical cave diving training and exploration all over the Yucatan Peninsula. But after a few years someone at PADI noticed his talents and offered Anders the role as the Regional Manager for PADI of Sub-Saharan Africa as well as an IE examiner. (NOTE: It’s always good to have a former examiner preparing you for the PADI IE! Especially one that is also an accomplished Course Director because they know both sides of the instructor exams and can help you prepare. ) Now, 15 years since he first did his Divemaster in Thailand, he holds more than 20 instructor trainer specialties including DSAT and Technical Diving Instructor Trainer!

The Best Part of Being a PADI Course Director

After hearing Anders’ story, you won’t be surprised to hear his answer when I asked him his favorite part of teaching an IDC: 

 “Definitely the Transformation. From the first day to the last day, working with the students every day to improve their skills, theory, and knowledge of ocean conservation. To see the transformation from the student they start as on their first day to the instructor they become on the final day, and the confidence it gives them is my favorite part. Transforming people and giving them the opportunity to change their lives, like I was able to change mine.” 

Passion to create a better future for our oceans, and his dedication to each individual student as well as the diving community as a whole, are the reasons why Anders is the PADI Platinum Course Director that he is today, not to mention his 100 percent pass rate at the Instructor Examinations.  Nowadays, when he isn’t teaching an IDC you can find Anders enjoying Los Cabos’ remote beaches with his family, paragliding, camping under the stars, or eating at his favorite downtown sushi joint: The Fish!

Location, Location, Location

One of the big decisions every dive professional needs to make on their journey to being an instructor is where to do their IDC – the PADI Instructor Development Course, that will prepare them to take and pass the PADI Instructor Examination (IE).  You’ll want to choose somewhere that is set up right to both support and challenge you in that journey, and ensure that you’re properly equipped to start your new career teaching scuba diving.  How to balance comfort, cost, community and opportunity?  Everyone needs to come to their own conclusion, but here’s some awesome reasons why Los Cabos should rank high on the list!

The Sun & The Sea

If you like the sunshine, and don’t fancy training in cold water lakes and quarries – head to Los Cabos for your PADI Instructor course!  Los Cabos is known for extremely beautiful weather with an average of 360 sunny days per year. The desert landscape ensures that  the air humidity remains very low, while being located right on both the Sea of ​​Cortez and the Pacific Ocean gives access to beautiful ocean dives for your open water training. The Sea of Cortez was famously nicknamed ‘The World’s Aquarium’ by one of the oceans greatest explorers – Jacques Cousteau! He gave it this name because of the unrivaled abundance of life and biodiversity he found here. The waters around the southern Baja California Peninsula are also touted to be visited by more migratory marine species than anywhere else on earth and also host more than ⅓ of the worlds marine mammal species!  Sun, abundant healthy oceans, sand and good weather makes everyone happier, and your dive training that much more enjoyable.

World Class Destination

Los Cabos is a world-class destination, welcoming more than 3 million visitors every year.  Why does this matter for your IDC?  Well it means that there is a good flow of diverse customers, and types of divers here.  The booming tourist industry supports a strong dive industry, which means that you’ll get exposed to a range of dive professionals and operations.  This translates to great opportunities for internships to put your training into practice and gain real world experience, as well the chance to make connections and build your network in the dive world.

The Ninja IDC Program

We are very proud of our conservation based PADI IDC program! It was the first of its kind in the world and has set in motion new standards for dive professional training in the global industry. Here at Dive Ninjas, as part of the IDC, we don’t just cover all the fundamental and mandatory aspects of the PADI requirements – instead we took the PADI course and built our Ninja program around it to bring sustainable tourism and marine conservation into the course. We truly aim to create fully rounded dive pros that are not only awesome instructors, but can make a difference in their career.  This means instructors who deliver excellent customer service, prioritize safety, work to protect the environment, while ensuring everyone is having a great time in the process. It’s why our Ninja Alumni are some of the most sought after dive pros in the industry.  Our additional ninja workshops and content guides IDC students through each facet of how to be a better Instructor.  We keep teaching groups small to ensure appropriate guidance and attention from instructors, and work with our network of dive professionals, conservationists and researchers to deliver special workshops and surprises.

Incredible Diving

Situated right where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, the waters around Los Cabos are just teeming with marine life.  The sheer variety of dive sites to explore and marine animals to spot will inspire and motivate you in your journey as a dive professional!  See humpback whales breaching or giant schools of mobulas soaring while going out to practice your open water presentation!  Or sea lions and huge schools of jacks & snapper stopping by to check your skills out under water.  For those interested in technical diving, the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park offers incredible deep walls reaching down over 300 meters (1000 Ft) under the sea with tons of opportunities to explore only a couple minutes from the marina – and maybe even find that missing Spanish galleon! Suffice to say, there’s lots of underwater richness to explore!  

It’s Gorgeous Topside

Baja is breathtaking!  From beautiful beaches, amazing desert scenery, electric blue bays, desert oasis, mountain hikes,  hot springs, and waterfalls, to beautiful historic colonial towns, there is so much to do and explore, while you chill out on a day off.  Watch as the Baja sun sets into the mighty Pacific Ocean igniting the sky in neon oranges and pinks before millions of stars begin to illuminate the night sky. If you’re into astrophotography, astronomy, or even just checking out the stars Baja has some of the best skies in the world for it – most nights you can clearly see the milky way cutting across the night sky! You should definitely plan some well deserved downtime after your IE to just enjoy yourself in the beautiful landscape.  And of course, there are plenty of opportunities to let your hair down and party the night away in Cabo San Lucas!

It’s Great For Travellers 

Los Cabos is very well connected, with direct flights to many major cities in the US and Mexico – and even new routes to Europe!  With a relatively low cost of living, and a great choice of accommodation to fit any budget – it’s not at all hard to live comfortably here!  Both English and Spanish are widely spoken.  Local amenities, such as transport infrastructure (Uber, buses, taxis, & more), internet connectivity (super fast fiber optic is pretty common to find in Cabo) and health facilities are excellent (more high quality hospitals than anywhere else in Mexico)  – making Los Cabos a prime location for this generation of digital nomads!  Foodwise (fueling for your IDC is important!) there’s yummy local and international cuisine readily available for very reasonable prices. Everything from traditional Mexican cuisine to Italian, Japanese, Vegan, Argentinian, Chinese, American,  and so much more – including some of the best taco spots in Mexico! 

With a vibrant mix of international and local Baja culture, Los Cabos is beautiful, friendly, accommodating, open minded, and accepting.  So come join your new ninja family in Cabo San Lucas! Click here to learn more about the Ninja IDC Program or Divemaster program and sign up today!
