IDC and IE Pattaya Thailand

IDC February 2005 Pattaya Jomtien Thailand - Professional DiversYet again, a 100% pass rate. The IDC and IE of February 2005 in Pattaya, Thailand produced some very strong candidates. Here we have Joe, Claus (staff Instructor), Christine, Steve (testimonial), Paul (Beany), Alex (I'm a pukey girl), Phil and below, Steve (boss - course director) and HMS (AKA Dave - Staff instructor and photographer - yes - blame him if the shots are bad!). Phil - we'd like to thank you for assisting on this IDC and IE also and shall see you passing on the next IE :-)

All of the guys apart from Joe, who came more experienced and made a very good fast track - diving every day - came for the six months. At the beginning of the dive training the IDC and IE seem so far away there seems to be no end to the steps to take. Before they know it they are in the hot seat and taking the exams and becoming dive professionals.

Below you'll find just a few shots of the interns making their way through the IDC and the IE. Many thanks to HMS for taking all of the pics as well as staffing the IDC program. There was a great buffet meal and party that went into the wee hours but you'll need to visit the "rogues gallery" in order to see these pics - password and access available on joining us here.
