From Divemaster to Trimix Instructor.
Become A Professional Diver
Train in Cyprus with Yurii Prokhvatylo and follow a clear route from Divemaster to instructor and technical trimix teaching. Small groups. Real technical environment. No resort conveyor belt.
Why Do It Here
You are not buying a badge. You are buying standards, environment and the person who will correct you in the water.
Real Technical Context
IANTD fits the way GoToDive actually dives: stronger standards, cleaner progression and a natural path into advanced nitrox, trimix and CCR.
Small Groups
Professional training works better with direct feedback, repeated correction and time in the water. Not with rush-through certification volume.
Cyprus Makes Sense
Warm water, visibility, direct flights and strong dive sites make a longer training stay easier to justify and easier to complete well.
Clear Next Step
Start at the right level now and keep the route open all the way to crossover, speciality, technical and trimix instruction later.
Choose Your Next Step
Open the level that matches where you are now. Leadership first. Teaching next. Technical instruction after that.

Open Trimix InstructorInstructor Trainer Yurii Prokhvatylo
This matters more than the badge. The instructor sets the standard you will carry after certification.
GoToDive presents Yurii Prokhvatylo as the lead technical educator behind its professional path: IANTD Instructor Trainer, founder of GoToDive and international technical diving educator.
The published profile states 20+ years of diving experience, 18+ years as a professional instructor, 10+ years as an instructor trainer and 15,000+ dives completed. That is the kind of background candidates look for when they want correction, judgment and real operational standards.
The same profile also highlights technical, CCR and trimix specialization, multi-agency credentials and technical diving publications. That is a stronger reason to travel than a generic resort-instructor pitch.

Why Cyprus Instead Of Egypt Or Somewhere Else
The destination matters because it changes how well you train.
Cyprus gives you warm water, visibility and simpler logistics. That means more attention stays on demos, control, briefings and performance.
It also gives you real technical context: Zenobia, reef and wreck variety, and an environment that still makes sense when your path moves into technical training.
Compared with cheaper-looking destinations, Cyprus usually wins on predictability, travel ease and the ability to combine multiple levels in one stay.
Questions Before You Commit
