Craig gets proof that he is in fact a PADI Instructor!
Congratulations to Craig Lawton who became the very latest EFR instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor at the recent PADI IDC at Emperor Divers in Sharm el Sheikh.
The weather in Sharm for this IDC was perfect, the sea warming nicely brought many wonderful sights. Manta Rays and Eagle rays were seen almost daily. Sharm el Sheikh was very quiet with few tourists. A great shame that people were not able to see such wonderful sights.
Craig becomes EFR instructor
So, PADI Master Instructor, Craig, Phil, Lorreta and I had a wonderful peaceful time learning IDC Skills that will help everyone become a great instructor. As always, simply passing the Instructor Exam was not the first and most important factor. Learning how to give full customer attention and service is the number one criteria. However, having said that, the scores that were awarded on the Instructor Exam could not be higher! 5 followed by 5 followed by 5… well, you get the picture.
Craig scores another 5!
It was a very quiet Instructor Exam for the whole of Sharm el Shiekh. in fact all of the centers combined could only muster up 13 candidates. Our next IDC in Sharm is scheduled for September, and already there are many people preparing for it. Sharm is the most perfect location for an IDC as everything is on your doorstep.
