After more than two weeks of hard working
and studying, stress and excitement, finally sun of the last day of the
Instructor Exam (IE) rose.
While Julia, Bart, AJ, JP, Ali, Nedal and
Wei were on the taxi on the way to Koh Tao Regal Resort for the IE’s Confined
Presentation, Marco, Chris, Ed and Max were following on their motor bikes.
The first day of the IE at the same resort
was only two days ago, but seeing this beautiful pool with sea view, it seemed
much longer ago.
The Buddha View group had their own little
corner at the pool.
Everybody started to gear up and get ready
for the last part of the IE.
Irene – Max’ girlfriend - and Shu were a role model for all boy- and girlfriends by being at the scene all the time.
After the Confined Presentations and the
Skill Circuit, everybody gathered together at the certification ceremony to hear
the redeeming words of PADI examiner Rob:” Well done everybody, you all have passed
the IE!”
Wei was Buddha View’s first candidate who
got his certificate.
Julia finally scored twice a 5.0 which made
her so happy that she spontaneously jumped into the arms of examiner Hans. He
seemed not to have any problem with that.
Nedal was very happy and relieved too.
It was hard for the Shuba Diving photographer to get closer to JP, but seen his pose, somebody else has got him
in the picture.
While Bart was posing for the other
photographer, Ed was wondering when his name will be called out.
Ed also passed with flying colours and
luckily looked in the right camera.
Max could hardly wait to get his
certificate, but he still had to wait for some nice words from examiner Rob.
Ali was the last one in row to get his
certificate. Now, the cautious reader would wonder about AJ. When AJ walked up
to the front to receive his certificate, there was a whole bunch of happy
people jumping in front of the photographer, so she missed AJ, sorry for
that.
45 brand new Open Water Scuba Instructors
for the month May IE on Koh Tao.
The two only girls of Buddha View’s
candidates took advantage of the situation to be in the picture with their lovely Course
Directors.
Congratulations to Buddha View’s 9 fresh
Open Water Scuba Instructors!
Ed showed a special way to take and be in
the picture at the same time.
One more time: congrats to everyone who was
involved in this IDC and IE!
To thank and congratulate Course Directors
Chris and Marco, Shu had a little speech for them on behalf of the whole group.
To everyone's surprise Shu’s speech turned out to be a funny IE
briefing, presentation and demonstration.
