Gemma and Ian chat to Chef Anton.  Chef Anton is an IDC Staff Instructor with over 500 logged dives and is also an Award-Winning Magician from Hollywood’s Magic Castle.  You may have seen his appearance of Penn and Teller’s Fool Us.  Chef has created a brand new PADI Distinctive Specialty called Scuba Magician which has now over 500 instructors world-wide.

 

The course teaches divers 15 magic tricks they can do during a safety stop.  Think of it as 15 tricks for 15 feet.  No prior magical skills are needed and all of the tricks are hand-selected to reinforce important scuba concepts such as Narcosis, Nitrogen Absorption, and even Decompression Sickness.  For students, they become empowered with fun and easy to perform magic tricks that can make any dive unique and memorable.

 

For Instructors, the course has even more added value.  Instructors gain an arsenal of non-diving training aids they can use to teach any PADI course from Open Water up through the IDC.  They gain exclusive access to a Database of magic exclusively designed for scuba instructors as well as an invitation to an Instructor Only Forum which offers an infrastructure for like-minded instructors to share concepts, ideas, and grow as educators/ambassadors for the sport we all love.
