IDC and IE Pattaya Thailand
- November / December 2005
Merry Christmas! Well it certainly is come
early for 12 lucky guys and gals that took the OWSI internship through Mermaids  CDC
Pattaya Thailand - all passed their tests and exams to become new dive
professionals! The scuba trainees and now professional instructors are: Russell
Cheetham, Terry
Wilkins, Morten Slastad, Chris Jefferd, Gary Philips, Benjamin
Liversage, John Duncan,
Jessica Dey, Luke Hellowell, Alexander Betzold, Alan Jacobs, Coetzee (Angel).
Does it need to be said that all of these dive interns studied
hard whilst holding a nice balance with relaxation here to gain this
professional qualification? In amongst all of the scuba training so much fun is
had - please have a look at the pictures of the guys during the IDC and the IE -
the stressful parts! - They still look pretty happy! - The IDC (Instructor
Development Course) was followed by the IE (Instructor Exam), then by a huge
buffet party in the evening ...
12 candidates and now 12 new PADI instructors.
100% pass
rate!
Well done guys - Congratulations!
