RAID CROSSOVER

RAID instructors are highly regarded in the diving industry. Equipped with modern diving techniques, they stand out from the crowd. Being associated with the fastest-growing diver training agency will present many opportunities, and students will benefit from the best training available.

 

At RAID, our philosophy is to train instructors to a higher standard so you can teach new and certified divers to be safer and more environmentally conscious. This comes in the form of better/more efficient equipment setup, modern skill sets, and buoyancy capabilities!

 

The RAID Crossover program is about understanding our efficient and comprehensive online system, working as both a student and instructor, in-water skills activities, and viewing the instructor/dive center approval process.
