They passed both segments of the IE with very strong scores, both scoring a 5.0 (the highest score possible) on one of their two Open Water presentations.
Today the last segment was on the menu, the confined water presentation and a skill circuit consisting of 5 skills. Once more, this was dealt with in a very confident way and they both had impressive scores.

Now it’s off to
Samui, for our
IDC/IE party with a nice buffet dinner at
Bongoes and than most likely off to downtown
Chaweng for a few celebration drinks. On Saturday we continue with the
EFRI course.

As usual they started last Tuesday with the orientation, with almost 30 other evenly nervous fellow candidates. This is how the classroom looked like just before the orientation kicked off.
Since good luck has nothing to do with their performance anymore, this is the closing slide of the orientation, presented by PADI examiners Thomas Knedlik and Rob Scammell.
They both passed the exams with flying colors and yesterday saw them in action for their Knowledge Development presentation and in the afternoon it was time for their Open Water segment. Here they both are shortly before boarding the boat.
