After two days of jangling nerves the three candidates from Thresher Shark Divers are now fully certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors !!! October’s PADI IE on Malapascua was the third hosted by the island, and yet again there was a 100% pass-rate…
Jo, Max and Ant spent the two weeks prior to the Instructor Exams working very hard in the classroom during their PADI Instructor Development Course at Thresher Shark Divers. The hard work paid off, as during the IE they all recorded some very high scores and passed with ease…
The first morning of the IE started with the orientation, and then after a small break continued with the written exams in dive theory and an exam on PADI standards. This is usually people’s least favourite section of the two-day examination process, but the candidates passed this first hurdle without any problems…
Some very good scores during the classroom presentations that afternoon brought the first day to an end. the following day the candidates were in the water presenting skills in confined water and in open water with a mini skill circuit and a rescue demonstration too. They all walked back up the beach from the boat as very happy PADI Instructors !!!
After an awesome party at Oscar’s Bar & Restaurant that evening, the following day was spent relaxing/recovering. Now the guys are continuing their training and are completing various Specialty Instructor Training courses to ensure they have no problems finding that dream job in the sun…
Congratulations guys, on a job very well done !!!
