The best advice I can give is:
1. be prepared to get stuck in
2. be prepared to firmly give orders (shout at people to do what you want)
3. delegate
4. watch those tricky instructors - they'll throw a curve ball at you
5. enjoy yourself
6. delegate

FWIW, we were teaching a DPM course that (unfortunately) due to a real incident with another group of divers, converted into a PRM, O2, etc

Was really gratifying to see the experience/lessons learned from the various training courses kick in with all the students

Thanks. Got to spread it around a bit before I can green you though.
