Friday nerves jangling with certain people, all IDC candidates in the area (about 30 from Bali and surrounding islands) congregated for the IE with 2 PADI examiners, one from California and one from New Zealand. Afternoon included the introduction/ orientation and assignments session, followed by 2 exams - PADI standards exam and Dive Theory exam. Evening spent preparing the Confined Water and Knowledge Review presentations.
Saturday started with Confined Water presentations in the pool, straight 5's (top marks) for yours truly - very pleased ! Knowledge Review presentations in the afternoon, also high scoring all round, fingers crossed for Sunday out in the Open Water, it was a full moon Saturday so conditions are not expected to be good.
Sunday conditions turned out to be better than expected, lousy visibility at about 3m, but much better than expected and certainly adequate for the job in hand, we went first on Rescue #7, which was good to get it out of the way and relax, after that the Open Water presentations were a breeze. We are now all therefore PADI Instructors !
Our team, with Minni, Holly and Dave from Crystal,
and with Tim and Steve the PADI Examiers
