碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 運動休閒與餐旅管理研究所 / 104 / This is an autoethnograph of scuba diving instructor’s training life. I depict my life experience by three stages of four periods.

Stage one: I was an apprentice of a dive shop in Green Island, Taiwan. At first, I really want to learn dive by daily life, but the manager/owner assign me to deal with the chores. After getting open water diver ceteificate, I suppose to join the dive team with others, eventually, I still face the boring chores, thus, I dicide to leave. One day, “Taiwan Diving Center” hosts a speech aim to potential diving candidates, through the event I can understand how to become a diving instructor. I go to enroll my advanced open water diver certificatein at TDC located in Kenting. I encounter the dive business at that time. I hope to join the dive community and work around the world by scuba diving.

Stage two: I take the divemaster internship in Bali, Indinesia. They run the dive business like an enterprise, administering six departments - sales & marketing, reservation, accounts, human resources, diving training, and equipment & support. In Blue Season Bali, the only things I should do is focusing on training, therefore, I can cultivate my professional ability. Producing a divemaster rely on the interaction of me between buddy, internship manager, dive team, diving center & PADI, customers, and natural environment. I conduct both macro and micro view to discourse my training life experience. Completing the training I officially become a divemaster of No. 351494.

Stage three: I back to TDC’s embracement, and I decide to join the Instructor Development Courses acronym IDC. The purpose of joining the IDC is not only conduct my research, but also prepare to my carrer after graduating from graduated school. The words from my heart, the IDC feeklike cram school, I need to teach like PADI professional, in the other words, I must follow PADI’s rule, therefore, I could pass the exam, then become an instructor.

All in all, PADI has been able to succeed in global development, because it is able to do localize, relatively, a qualify diving instructor can pass the world without obstcles, the key point is the ability to adapt to the culture, in the other words, the real secreat is span-cultural management.
