Testimonial by Fareez Ahmad

Here's one more testimonial, this time from Fareez Ahmad, who participated in the recent PADI IDC on Gili Air in Indonesia in August 2014;

Hi Camille, 

First of all, thank you very much for being my Course Director; for sharing your expertise, experience, guidance and for making our IDC really enjoyable all round. I thought you were a very approachable person; you were very willing to guide all of us and it was really amazing how many laughs we all shared during the course. 

I think you had a challenging IDC - one of us did not speak English as a native language, and another was dyslexic. More than anything, I really admired how patient you were in guiding them, how encouraging you were and accommodating to their challenges and limitations. For me that was a big deal because I found myself sometimes becoming impatient whenever, during my DMT, I tried to teach student divers who were struggling or just needed extra time or attention. So for me that was one of the most important lessons I take away from your teaching. 

Once again, thank you very much for all that you have done for us and I hope our paths cross again somewhere in the diving world!

If Fareez hits the right snare with you and raised your interest in one of my up and coming PADI IDC programs, here's my remaining schedule for this year; 30th September on Koh Samui in Thailand, 25th October on Gili Air in Indonesia, 14th November in Khao Lak in Thailand and 4th December in Moalboal in the Philippines. The schedule for 2015 will be available soon.
