Platinum PADI Course Director Matt Bolton had this to say;
"Obviously I’m extremely pleased for the two of the them. They have both worked very hard to get to the pinnacle of the dive industry & this is their reward. Having been involved with both of their careers, from a training & management perspective over the past 5 years I’m also very proud. I know they will make excellent PADI Course Directors & will be a credit to PADI, Koh Tao & Crystal Dive Resort"
Kenji & Matt become the 2nd & 3rd PADI Course Directors that Matt has trained, and he is fast getting a reputation as one of the industry’s leading producers of quality dive instructors, all the way through the PADI system to Course Director!
