Instructor Development Course & IE -- January 2006

Aquanauts Dive Centre celebrated another successful Instructor Exam when interns Robert Kaufman and Anthea Helmsing passed the Janaury PADI IE. Aquanauts also celebrated the the certification of OWSI and MSDT intern Kurt Schaefer as a new IDC Staff Instructor.

Rob and Anthea distinguished themselves by scoring at the top of list of the approximately 25 candiates taking the January Pattaya IE. Over the 2.5-day exam, the couple collected three perfect scores of 5.0 and only one mark under 4 during all the written and practical tests. Both new instructors credited this to Aquanauts Personalized Training system, which guarantees tiny class sizes and the most personal attention to training.
