April 2007 Instructor Development Course and Instructor Exam
"Very tired, but very happy."
That's how Alex & Tony Leeming described themselves after passing their 3-day PADI Instructor Exam. It's a sentiment shared by all 6 of Aquanauts' IE candidates. Aquanauts had six students on the IDC, six pass and go to the IE and six pass the exam; a through-and-through 100%.
"I couldn't recommend Aquanauts any higher," Tony wrote in an e-mail to us and all his friends and family tonight. "The preparation for the course is exceptional, the course directors are incredibly experienced, and they know exactly how to get you through."
While they were out for their IE party that night, rest and relxation is not in the picture.
"a couple of weeks off I here you suggesting?" Tony said. "Sadly not, after a day getting over our hangovers, we start a three-day course, for the next stage, the master scuba diver trainer: 5 specialties that we are trained up for by our course director, and then we have to certify 25 divers."
Congratulations to Tony and Alex, Jeff Nichols, Stuart and Jamie Page and Simon Abbott
