This study was to investigate: how SCUBA diving instructors perceive the importance of their professional competency, to what extent they perceive they own the professional competency, how their perception of the importance of their professional competency collaborates with their perception of their professional competency, and how instructors with different demographic backgrounds differ in their perception of the importance of their professional competency and the extent to which they own the professional competency. The researcher developed a questionnaire, titled as cognition of SCUBA diving instructors’ professional competency, to collect the needed research data. A sample of 300 diving instructors was asked to respond to the questionnaire and 253 valid questionnaires were returned. research findings based on the data analysis results include:
1. There are more male instructors than female instructors, more instructors aged beyond 40 than other age group, and more part-time instructors than full-time instructors. Most of the instructors hold a junior college degree and have 6-10 years of diving experience and 1-3 years of coaching experience.
2. The importance of the professional competency and the extent to which the instructors own the professional competency, as perceived by the instructors, can be ranked from high through low as: professional skills and attitude, instruction and operation skills, professional knowledge, injury prevention and first aid ability.
3. Junior instructors consider instruction operation skills as the most important; while senior instructors consider professional attitude as the most important.
4. Coaching experience can promote instructors’ professional competency.
5. There is a positive relationship between how the SCUBA diving instructors perceive the importance of professional competency and how they perceive they own professional competency.
6. SCUBA diving instructors’ perception of the importance of professional skills and attitude and professional knowledge is better than their perception of the extent they own these professional competencies; and their perception of the extent they own instruction and operation skills is better than their perception of the importance of these skills.
