Okay, Instructor Development Course is finished now, and we have seven brand new Instructors ready to rock and roll! Congratulations, Steven, Adam, Eva, Greg, Raf, Nods and Baby Alex! We wish you a nice career in diving, and lots of grateful students! And as student divers reading this, look at the pictures and remember those faces — they are going to be your teachers!
Three days ago, they started the exams with PADI Instructor Examiner George Wengmann, who came from Philippines to check our Instructor Candidates.
This was the first Instructor Development course on Koh Phangan, so tension and responsibility were really really high. But they managed, everyone’s passed!
The car has arrived packed with new dive teachers.
Every new instructor is happy to get a new profession...
