PADI, diving and Instructor Development (IDC)

Today we tackled the EFRI course, with Little Annie, the mannequin waiting for some action in this picture. Due to Mike's medical military back ground, we could finish this course rather swiftly in a one on one training setting and we moved on to the PADI Emergency Oxygen provider course.

This course was taught by Craig, who certified his 25th PADI diver during Mike's Oxygen Provider course, under my direct supervision and hence completed his MSDT internship and is now ready to start his IDCS course during the February IDC, so we'll see a lot more of him in the near future. The picture above shows Mike, Craig and me after the EFRI and Oxygen Provider course. I went on and completed the Oxygen Instructor course with Mike as well.

As usual this was all taught at the local recompression chamber in Bang Rak.

Earlier, before the IDC started, we also looked into the Gas Blender and Equipment specialties already.

First we'll complete some Instructor diving specialties, weather permitting and later this week we will continue with the current IDC again.
