Abstract
As diving equipment and techniques are constantly updated, traditional instructional models may not cover the latest technology and safety measures, and course content and teaching methods need to be updated to reflect these changes. The Professional Association of Diving Instructors(PADI) courses are implemented globally, and differences in culture, language, and diverse environments of the participants in different regions need to be considered and adapted in the instructional model.
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of advanced teaching equipment, teaching safety, and individualized needs on the instructional model of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.
This study adopted the quantitative research method. 400 questionnaires were distributed during the survey period, and 322 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a validity rate of 80.5%. This study found that advanced teaching equipment, teaching safety, and individualized needs have a significant positive effect on the instructional model of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. For recommendations, PADI should focus on the following aspects: 1) Equipping instructors with advanced teaching equipment; 2) Adopting safety measures; 3) Personalizing teaching methods.
