She was Oman’s first female dive instructor 🇴🇲🤿. Now she’s making sure she’s not the last. 🌊
On @PADI Women’s Dive Day, Dee Barwani (@dive.with.dee) had one message for every woman thinking about diving in: “the ocean doesn’t care about your doubts. It just asks you to show up.” ✨
Keep diving. Keep the door open behind you. 💙
And yeah - we couldn’t stop at a reel.
Full convo with Dee dropping soon on The Mettleset Podcast. 🎙️Stay tuned!

I had 0 $ on my account and had no job, but I pushed through! I worked in construction, housekeeping, banana farms, hotels and many more jobs.
7 years later I find myself working in Thailand as a Dive Instructor. If you would’ve told me that, when I started my travels, I wouldn’t have believed you.
Keep working hard for your dreams and always remember that everyone started from nowhere 🤝

Train for Reality, Not Just the Evaluation 🤿🌊
Becoming a dive instructor is not just about demonstrating skills perfectly. It’s about being ready to teach real students in real diving situations.
That’s why the SSI Instructor Training Course at Oceans 5 Gili Air is based on realistic teaching techniques.
We train our instructor candidates the way they will actually teach after becoming certified: realistic student problems, proper positioning, effective communication, student control, and respect for the marine environment.
Because once you become an instructor, there isn’t always a platform, a line, or a perfect situation waiting for you.
Our goal is not simply to prepare you to pass the Instructor Evaluation.
Our goal is to prepare you to become a confident, capable instructor who can teach safely in the real world.
Train realistically. Teach confidently. Create better divers. 🤿

"You're just a dive instructor!" 🤨
To anyone who thinks we just swim around all day: you’re right, and it’s the absolute best job on earth. 🌴💙
Tag a fellow multi-talented instructor who wears all the hats! 👇

A dive instructor wears many hats...
Some obvious.
Some unexpected.
All part of making your dive unforgettable. 💙
Which one made you smile the most? 👇
Things I do NOT care about as your dive instructor 👇🏻
🚫 How many times you need to redo a skill (100 times? Let’s go.)
🚫 How long the course takes (this isn’t a race)
🚫 If we need to change your equipment (tight wetsuit? Just say it)
🚫 Moving your dive to another day (just tell me ahead of time)
🚫 Cancelling last minute for the right reasons (listening to your body is a good thing)
🚫 Spending 20 minutes photographing one octopus (get your shot)
🚫 Ending the dive earlier than planned (I’m here to make you happy, not me)
What I DO care about: that this is 100% about YOU. I’m just here to guide you. 🌊
🤿 How to tell a diver’s level… by their outfit 😂
Open Water Diver: just happy to be underwater 🌊
Divemaster: looking a little more professional 😎
Dive Instructor: yep… definitely looks like they work here 😂
Same ocean, different levels of drip. 🤣
Which one are you? 👀

🤿 潜水员的等级,原来从穿搭就看得出来?😂
Open Water Diver:准备好装备就能出发 🤿
Divemaster:装备越来越专业 😎
Dive Instructor:一看就是“我在这里上班”的感觉 😂
同样是潜水,
穿搭真的很诚实。🤣🌊

My first scuba dive. Terrified at first, amazed by the end. Stepping out of my comfort zone was worth every heartbeat. 🌊🤿🐠

🤿 A Good Dive Instructor Doesn’t Just Teach Skills — They Organize the Dive
As a dive instructor, you need to think carefully about how you organize yourself and your students underwater.
Where are you positioned?
Where are your students?
Can you see everyone?
Can they see you?
Can you react immediately if someone needs help?
You might have a perfect plan before entering the water. But sometimes, once you descend, you realize:
This isn’t working the way I expected.
Maybe the current is different.
Maybe visibility is worse.
Maybe one student needs more attention.
Maybe your formation makes it difficult to maintain control.
And that’s okay.
A good instructor doesn’t stubbornly stick to the original plan. A good instructor recognizes the situation and changes the organization underwater.
Move yourself.
Reposition your students.
Change the formation.
Slow things down.
The goal isn’t to make the dive look exactly like the plan you made on land.
The goal is to maintain control, communication and safety while creating the best possible learning environment.
That ability to observe, evaluate and adapt is one of the differences between simply knowing how to teach a skill and becoming a good dive instructor.
At Oceans 5 Gili Air, this is something we emphasize during our SSI Instructor Training Courses: think, observe, adapt.
Because underwater, the situation decides what works — not the drawing on the whiteboard.
