PADI IE for October 2010 on Koh Samui is done and over with!
The October 2010 PADI IE has been very successfully completed by all 6 candidates. Joep, who completed his IDC on Koh Phangan last month, Tobias, Marlies, Kenta, Yusuke and Nori all passed with flying colors. Ami completed her IDCS course successfully and Darren, Aiko and Nobu staffed, so it was a busy IDC!
PADI examiner Rob gives a general briefing over the days activities for the last segment, the Open Water dive at Chaweng Beach. Everybody is listening carefully and a light sensation of nervousness and anxiousness is in the air.
