IDC: Road to become a PADI Instructor (OWSI)

Becoming a PADI Dive Master


PADI bag with tons of materials to study


The PADI IDC was not an easy course. There are multiple classes, staff presentations, preparations, trainings. It was challenging to juggle between work and the classes.


Need coffee... And snacks to keep going...


I must be stupid...OWD final exam Question #26: What is the signal in the diagram.. I chose "I am thirsty"


9 Nov pool session. Going through the 24 skills again


15 Nov pool session. Confined Water Dive presentation


Pool session and Hantu weekend (22 & 23 Nov 14)


Unforeseen circumstance that almost made me postpone the IE


Bought a second hand laptop from Carousell for $110


Judgement day


The value of CESA can be found in your PADI Open Water Manual page 169: "The greatest value of Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent training is knowing you can do it."


Assessment at Hantu was quick


Success


Thanks Rick for the book
