PADI 5 Star Instructor Development

January 27th, 2010
Great start to 2011 for Crystal IDC..!!

The first PADI IDC of the new year is over, and there are 5 newly qualified, super enthusiastic PADI Instructors at Crystal Dive Resort.

Following on from a superb 2010, Matt Bolton’s Crystal candidates once again demonstrated how thorough their training has been, posting the best scores of any of the dive centre’s overall on the IE! In fact, both Jack Brodie & Brittainy Slade scored 5.0’s throughout the IE. Jack also scored 100% in 5 of the 6 written exams on Day 1, dropping only one point, on the Physics exam…this was the only ‘point’ he dropped throughout the entire IE..!!

The other candidates, Timo Sarin, Jasmin Lee & Alex Stavros all scored very highly as well, with the lowest score awarded to any Crystal candidate a 4.6….and all of this from PADI Examiner Yung He Hanis who is regarded as one of the toughest PADI examiners around!

Tomorrow is the start of the MSDT Prep & internship program. Over the nest 4-5 days the candidates will complete a variety of PADI Instructor Specialty training courses. After that they will start their ‘Instructor Internship’ , team teaching, alongside some of Thailand’s most experienced PADI Master Instructors!!

Its busy, busy here at Crystal at the moment and Matt will be starting the next IDC on the 4th February.
