On the program also was Steve Blumenthal (PADI CD), Russell Martin (PADI CD) and Claus (Master Instructor). Staffing as qualified was Desi and Harvey. Many of the guys related how hard they found the IDC (Instructor Development Course) in comparison to the PADI IE (Instructor Examination. This is actually very common. The reason for this is that we try to make the IDC as demanding as the IE and some more. If this is done then generally it is found that if the IDC can be handled then the IE should not cause any problems at all. If we ever see an error on a PADI Instructor Exam it is usually down to nerves. Please do have a look at the guys below - I am sure that you will join us in congratulating them...(Photos open in a new window)...
