PADI Instructor Development Course at Emperor Divers, Sharm, Egypt - There's plenty of fun and banter during this PADI IDC, dubbed the LIONS IDC as only the UK home nations are represented. During the Open Water Teaching Presentation, Tom takes control of Mick, who in turn, performs a rather perfect hover.

Steve was so pleased with the buzz that the day created that he has more Refresher Days planned. Contact Steve if you would like to attend an Instructor Refresher Day.
Discover Instructor Experience at Ocean View - There was standing room only in the pool as keen Ocean View divers enjoyed an insight into what it's like to be a PADI Scuba Instructor. PADI Course Director Steve Prior gave tips on how to conduct and control a pool session and they discovered that they had "Instructor Awareness" when they put it into practice in the on-site pool. Everyone was buzzing and the evening ended with a chat in the club bar where certificates were awarded.
