Douglas Hoy

COURSE DIRECTOR

Hi, I'm Doug, the Course Director here at Reef Gliders. A long time ago I jumped on a plane with a one-way ticket in my hand and some dive gear in my bag and I haven't looked back since.

I've been in the industry now for over 10 years and have trained thousands of divers across the world. Like most, I was hooked on diving from my first breaths underwater, but what I enjoy most about being a dive professional is teaching others.

If I'm not in instructing-mode, I'm happiest underwater in a current, the stronger the better, or putting on some extra tanks for a sidemount or a tec dive.

Most of my time at Reef Gliders is spent teaching the IDC, MSDT and Staff instructor courses, but I like to get involved in the Divemaster course as much as possible, once you get that teaching bug its hard to shake off!

Being a PADI pro is more than a job, its a lifestyle, full of diving, making friends and travel adventures. The only thing I regret about being an instructor is that I didnt do it sooner!
