The Gordon's Diploma of Outdoor Recreation offers extensive high quality training in various outdoor activities. The course is designed for people who wish to either pursue a career as a professional outdoor instructor or receive professional instruction in a range of different activities.

Scuba Culture has delivered the SCUBA component of this course since 2001 and has assisted many students in creating a career for themselves both domestically and internationally in the SCUBA Diving Industry.

In 1971, at the age of 8 years old, Xavier had no idea that a career at the pinnacle of teaching scuba was in store for him later on in life.
Xavier has been instructing instructors now since 1991 under the banner of NASDS (National Association of Scuba Diving Instructors) formerly FAUI (Federation of Australian Underwater Instructors). Later on in life, Xavier qualified as a Course Director with NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) running several instructor programs and examining on many others. In 2000, Xavier also became an Instructor Certifier for SSI (SCUBA SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL) where for several years, Instructor Programs have run through SCUBA CULTURE Pty Ltd.
With such a history at the very top of diver training under the banners of the worlds top training agencies, there is no-one in the Victorian diving industry that can offer the depth of knowledge that Xavier delivers to his Instructor candidates.
“When training people to take the life of others in there own hands, there is simply no substitute for experience” Xavier commented, and certainly views and words echoed by his many graduates.
In as much as the fact that there is a handful of SSI Instructor Certifiers in Victoria, SCUBA CULTURE is the only training facility that can boast a full time member of staff with this much knowledge and experience.
