This are the valuable IANTD Ambassadors!
Kurt Storms
IANTD Instructor Trainer
For me, the only organization that works for me. Years ago, I Came in contact with IANTD, and my world opened up. The knowledge I gained then made me the instructor I am today. For me, IANTD is the market leader in Technical diving, and let it be these dives that fascinate me. So why go and get our knowledge from someone else, when you can learn it from the source. Also, the support given to instructors and students are of unseen value. Even after your course. For this reason, I remain committed to the organization where my heart is, IANTD.

IANTD has allowed me to grow as an instructor through amazing support and allowing me the freedom to teach to the highest standards I can. I cannot say enough great praise I have for the agency. They truly care about the people who are training the students and quality of instruction that is provided under their name. As an instructor for them I am given the freedom to teach to the highest level I am able without restrictions. IANTD as a agency is one of the first and finest technical training agencies who are still blazing the new path we all follow in this ever evolving underwater technical and CCR diving world.

In more than thirty years dedicated to diving, I have been able to witness many things, joys, sadness, mistakes, successes, learning. Among the many experiences mentioned above, in the different agencies I worked for, one of them made me better in several aspects as a person, diver and professional. Seriousness, pioneering spirit, suitability, ethics, technical competence, credibility, all this and much more can only be found at IANTD! For these and other reasons I love IANTD!

Don Bailey
IANTD Instructor Trainer
IANTD gives me the ability to share my love and passion for the underwater world with new students every day. The thought of igniting a flame in the next generation of divers that can one day change the world is invigorating and my new calling. Being able to make self-sufficient, self-reliant divers unafraid to ask questions is a testament to IANTD's commitment to excellence and the trust they have in their instructors to create divers that can think critically. The opportunity to work with people you learned and read about through your diving career and have them appreciate and care about your input shows that IANTD is still dedicated to being the innovators that they were and continue to be. I'm honored and consider myself fortunate to be a part of such an amazing organization and look forward to our continued success as technical diving argonauts.
Doug Ebersole
IANTD Instructor Trainer
I feel fortunate to have been associated with IANTD for over twenty years. I first came to IANTD as an advanced open water diver looking for technical diving training, I was impressed immediately by the thoroughness of the training, both in terms of the academics and the in-water skills. Several years later I became an IANTD instructor which I consider one of the best decisions I have made in my scuba diving career. Led by pioneers in the technical, cave, and rebreather diving arena, IANTD has always been and continues to be a trail blazer with new courses and new materials as technical diving evolves, while always emphasizing safety and quality. They have allowed me to grow as a diving professional and have always provided me the support I need to train students and instructors so that they achieve their diving goals and reach their highest potential. I am truly proud to be a part of the IANTD family.

IANTD offers a very structured education which fits my strengths and weaknesses. The instructors adapt their program to my specific needs, and I don't have to learn things I will not need in my further tech dive career. This all is associated with a cool community who practice what they talk about.
Emerson Covisi
IANTD Instructor
IANTD is a serious agency that represents me as a diver! I am proud to be part of an agency that has pioneered many levels of training in recreational and technical diving, such as nitrox, trimix and others!
Robert Meyer
IANTD Instructor
Diving is an adventure that was created by visionaries and pioneers. And IANTD was established by the same type of visionaries. Long before “technical” diving even had a name, IANTD was there pushing the boundaries of the sport. While other agencies now embrace Nitrox, CCRs, and mixed-gas diving, IANTD was the original agency that set the standards and paved the way for the rest to follow.
