Instructor Development Course & IE -- June 2007

One was the younger brother of a 2006 intern, another nearly didn't make the IDC due to a damaged ear drum and one more suffered an unfortunate hair cut. But together the June 2007 class of interns survived their Instructor Development Course and went on to pass the PADI Instructor Exam and become new instructors.

Congratulations go out to all the grads, including Chad Peacock, whose brother Nathan did an Aquanauts internship early last year, Jonathon Weeden, who overcame his ear injury, and Dan Craughwell, who mysteriously shaved his head just before going to the IE.

Talent, skill, hard work and maybe a bit of superstition paid off for these four who are now on their way to new careers as PADI instructors. Check out pictures from their IDC below.
