Information for Instructors

New Instructors

Each year, renewing Instructors should review the information in the New Instructor Information Packet, which highlights the essential responsibilities and requirements for instructors operating on PDRA property.
Being an instructor on PDRA properties is a privilege. It is the sole decision of the PDRA to allow or renew instructor credentials.
Instructor Card:
- Every instructor must carry their PDRA Membership Card or have it readily available at all times on PDRA property.
- The card must clearly display the word “Instructor” and be presented to any PDRA officer, quarry manager, or member when requested.
Certificate of Insurance:
- Instructors are required to have a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) on file, your COI must:
  - Be current and have a valid expiration date (pricing details may be blacked out).
  - List the PDRA as an Additional Insured (Piedmont Diving and Rescue Association, 9815 Sam Furr Road #J65, Huntersville, NC 28078)
  - COI must list the instructor’s name. Shop COI’s can include multiple instructor names.
- Any COI updates due to policy renewal must be promptly sent to the designated PDRA email (piedmontdiving1963@gmail.com) or uploaded with your membership renewal.
- New PDRA membership cards will not be issued if current COI is not on file with the PDRA.
