New PADI Instructors and PADI IDC Staff at Emperor Divers in Sharm el Sheikh
The PADI Instructor Development Course and the PADI Instructor Exam is now over. The course was fantastic, with lots of laughter and lots of good times. I’ll certainly remember it for a long while. It’s surprising just how well people can progress once they put their minds to it. Two of our IDC candidates could not even speak English a couple of years ago! Istvan is Hungarian, now living in London. He did very well during the IDC and is now looking forward to teaching other Hungarian and Eastern Europeans who live in North London. I am sure that he will do very well.
Saad is Egyptian and taught himself English. He has surprised everyone how fast he has progressed. He took the PADI Instructor Exam in English, and apart from just 2 questions in total, got 100 pct on all Theory Exams! He also got fantastic scores on all of his teaching presentations. He will make a brilliant Instructor.
I would also like to thank Ian, who not only was a great IDC Candidate, but also acted as a “Mentor” to the others on the course.
Congratulations also to Kristofer who did his IDC Staff Instructor Course during this IDC.
My thanks also go out to all of the Staff Instructors who made my job so much easier. Scott, from Emperor Divers, Lorraine from Dive Force Marine, Paul from Deep Blue Scuba in Edinburgh, and as always my wonderful wife PADI Master Instructor. Without whom, non of our PADI IDCs would be successful.
