Instructor IDC, Staff Course & IE -- June 2008

It's all smiles again at Aquanauts this month as yet another group of interns unanimously passed their PADI Instructor Development Course and Instructor Exam.

It wasn't easy for anyone. Two students moved up their exams by a month and worked long into the night to pass. Another intern had been waiting six months to get this far while the rest found out that their four-month internship went by faster than they knew.

But, in the end, the Personalized Instructor provided by Aquanauts' two in-house Course Directors Roger Smith and Matt Norman, plus Master Instructor Gary Tytler got all the interns through, maitaining Aquanauts' 100% pass rate for all of 2008.

Congratulations to Ryan Cowan, John Land, Amy Lanning, Beau Ryan, Frank Toms and David Wiley, as well as to IDC Staff Instructor Alex Leeming. Wiley and Toms will be staying on to complete their Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Check out the photos from the IDC and IE below.
