What a windy week it has been, not much hope of getting around the corner to the Mikhail Lermontov for a splash. Luckily I have kept myself amused while running our first course in our new shop, the PADI IDC or Instructor Development Course. The PADI IDC is the most respected dive instructor development process in the market today and one that other agencies attempt to emulate but don’t come close.

The process is intensive yet rewarding, not only focusing on how to teach the PADI system of dive education but overviewing the entire dive industry and how to become a valuable part of it.

GETTING READY FOR CONFINED WATER PRESENTATIONS

Tomorrow is the last day for the three candidates, Becky, Mike and Aaron, then its off to Auckland where they will be objectively evaluated by members of PADI AP at the Instructor Examination.

All three have performed above average during the IDC and I am confident they will do well as Open-water Scuba instructors and I wish them well in the future. 

Safe Diving
