Instructor Development Course & PADI Instructor Exam -- August 2008

Aquanauts CDC continued its perfect streak for 2008 as two more interns successfully passed their Instructor Develelopment Course and are now PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors.

Austrlian Daniel Ryan and American Greg Hanigan celebrated their ascension to the ranks of PADI instructor with Brit Ashleigh Hayter, who beame Aquanauts' latest IDC Staff Instructor.

Passing hte IDC and IE was particularly sweet for Greg, who first came to Aquanauts last year but had to leave after reaching the Divemaster level. He worked in the Similan Islands during the previous high season, went back to the U.S. for the summer and rejoined Aquanauts in June to reach his goal.

This IDC was staffed by Course Director Roger Smith, Master Instructor Gary Tytler and IDC Staff Instructor Sally Rathbone.
