Instructor Development Course & IE -- May 2006
Aquanauts Diving Instrucotr Training debuted its own version of the comic book heroes "The Fantastic Four" in May, as four new interns became new PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.
As usual, Aquanauts candidates scored at the top of the Instructor Exam class, scattering perfect 5.0 scores across all three days of the exam.
Earning their Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications, and pictured at right, are Yann Espinosa, Ben Pierce and Steve Lonsdale. Not pictured is James P. Williams, who began the IE in Pattaya and completed a week later in Phuket. As per Aquanauts' philosophy, there was a 1-to-1 instructor/student ratio, with Course Directors Roger Smith and John Taylor leading the CDC, assisted by Master Instructor Gary Tytler and IDC Staff Instructor Dave Ford.
