The Instructor Exam (IE) candidates had two
presentations on their schedule today; knowledge development presentation –
prescriptive teaching (in the classroom) and open water teaching presentation
(in the sea).
After passing the knowledge development
presentation with flying colours in the morning, everybody hopped on the Buddha
View taxi to the Mae Haad pier.
They seemed to be very relaxed.
‘The Blues Brothers’ JP and Max were on the
taxi as well.
Initially Shu’s role was to be the
Chinese/English translator for Wei and Julia, but in the end Wei and Julia turned
out to speak English so well, that Shu was not needed that much anymore. But
that didn’t mean that Shu’s mentally support was not welcome.
Once arrived on the boat, everybody started
to gear up their equipment.
Ban’s Dive Resort, Koh Tao’s biggest dive
resort. They actually certify the most students of any resort in the world.
They provided the boat, as well as tanks and some other equipment for the IE
candidates. Ellie, Ban’s boat master is giving the boat briefing.
Our Buddha View candidates were divided in
two teams. Here the green team is waiting for their turn to do the briefing.
One have to admit, seen the beauty of the
background – not necessarily the muscled PADI examiner Hans – these are not bad
circumstances for making an exam at all.
While Julia is giving her briefing, the
green team of Buddha View could start their presentation with PADI examiner
Tim. At the end of the day, again everybody passed the open water presentation.
Congratulations everyone and good luck tomorrow with your last presentation!
