The PADI IDC for March at Thresher Shark Divers has extended our 100% record yet again !!! The five candidates eased through their two days of examinations conducted by the PADI Examiner, and can now relax and rest while they wait for their teaching status to come through…
Over the last two weeks they have been preparing for this Instructor exam during their PADI IDC, run by PADI Silver Course Director Richard Reardon (me !). We have enjoyed a great time together learning, working hard and now that work has paid off and they all got the ‘PADI handshake’ at the end of the IE…
The IE started with an Orientation Session where the candidates received their assignments sheets for the rest of the programme. The following morning they headed into Confined Water and all recorded some very high scores to help settle the nerves. That afternoon it was time to head back to the classroom to sit the written exam part of the examination – everybody’s favourite segment !! Next came the classroom presentations, and after gathering all their ‘teaching aids’ more very high scores were earned by all…
And that brought us to the final session the following day – Open Water. The candidates all headed into the water with PADI Examiner George, and did a great job and spotting and solving the assigned ‘problems’ and eased through this section. And then after some very solid Rescue Demonstrations came the all important handshake from George and some big smiles…
Congratulations, guys, on a job very well done !! And we wish you a happy and successful career as a PADI Instructor !!!
