PADI IDC on Phuket, Thailand for February 2017 has started

The PADI IDC on Phuket, Thailand for February 2017 has started in conjunction with PADI CDC Center 'Dive Asia'.

It's not many times that I go straight from one PADI IDC program into the next one, but this month that's exactly what I did. After the PADI IE on Koh Lanta was completed, I had one travel day to get to Phuket and the next day, yesterday, I started the PADI IDC for February 2017 on Phuket! Today we're already on day two!

As usual during all of my PADI IDC programs, it's an international affair, once more, with candidates originating from Germany, Sweden and Finland and the Course Director or myself is from the Netherlands.

In this short time span of two days, we covered already a lot of ground, a complete set of theory exams, some presentations by me and and lots of work ion confined water over the last two days. Skills circuit practice and lots of different workshops, varying from control, to CESA, to lift bag use, practicing rescue exercise # 7 with mouth-to-mouth and pocket mask and a few more. We keep ourselves busy!

Tomorrow they will have their first presentation of the IDC, in confined water, followed by more presentations by me and more homework each day to prepare! It's still fun tough and it seems the candidates are on a steep learning curve!

Stay tuned for more updates on this February IDC on Phuket!
