Hi Folks
I am Hardik Datanwala and will be starting soon with Khao Lak Scuba Adventures as a PADI Master Instructor and EFR Instructor Trainer with 13 specialties including PADI Freediver.
Wanna know more about Freediving ask for me ;-)
In my past 4 years of teaching I have gained lot´s of experience around S.E.Asia in places like Tioman, Andaman Islands, Mainland India and in Thailand with 200+ certifications and assisted on 7 PADI Instructor Development Courses and mentored 50+ Instructors during their PADI IDC.
I believe that continuing education is extremely important for instructors to keep their skills sharp and updated. I personally am a Tec 50 diver and a Cavern diver. I can also service Scubapro Equipment (Certified). I am also a certified Compressor operator and trouble shooter.
I strongly support conservation efforts and I have trained Indian forest rangers from various Marine Protected Area (MPAs) in diving and various coral monitoring and assessment procedures using the Line Intersect (LIT) and Quadrat methods.
My goal is to achieve the PADI Course Director rating and mentor the future generations of PADI Dive Instructors in the near future.
Thank you and see you soon on-board ¨The Manta Queen Fleet¨
