Honest experiences from instructor candidates who started their professional dive career in Tenerife with Mike.

Lena Müller
Germany · IDC + MSDT
"Mike's IDC is the most demanding two weeks I've ever spent — and the most rewarding. I left ready to teach, not just to pass the IE. The mentorship continued long after I returned home, and I now run my own school in Bavaria."

James O'Connor
Ireland · Career Package
"Six months in Tenerife with the career package and I'm now teaching full-time in the Maldives. The structure and mentorship are unmatched — every drill, every briefing, every debrief was treated like the real thing."

Sofia Hernández
Mexico · IDC
"Small groups, real ocean diving and a Course Director who actually remembers your name. Exactly what I was hoping for. The Atlantic conditions made me a more confident, more capable instructor from day one."

Niko Salonen
Finland · Tec Instructor
"Going from recreational to technical instruction with Mike was seamless. The Atlantic conditions prepare you for everything — and the equipment configuration sessions alone were worth the trip."

Aisha Patel
United Kingdom · MSDT Prep
"I came in nervous about teaching specialties; I left running five of them with full confidence. The personal coaching style is what makes this programme stand out."

Tomás Ribeiro
Portugal · IDC Staff Instructor
"Mentoring on real IDCs with Mike fast-tracked my path to Course Director. He treats his staff candidates like future colleagues, not students."
