Instructor IDC, Staff Course & IE -- February 2008

They worked as English teachers in Japan, a night manager and for themselves in the U.K., but today Rich Shelala, Brendan Back, Gareth Brown and Ben Wilson are PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors and the latest successful graduates from Aquanauts Dive Centre.
The February PADI Instructor Exam was yet another perfect one for Aquanauts, which has the best pass rate of any instructor training center in Central Thailand. Since January 2007, Aquanauts has sent 43 interns to the Instructor Exam and 42 have passed, often with near-perfect scores.
This month's training program also saw Master Scuba Diver Trainer Catherine Glashier become Aquanauts latest IDC Staff Instructor. In addition, the four new OWSIs plan to continue on with Aquanauts for Master Scuba Diver Training.
