Size:  21.8 KB So your PADI Instructor course begins, what do you need to expect ? The PADI instructor course has evolved somewhat over the past few years and in 2009 underwent a new revamp including putting sections of it online. Now whilst I was initially opposed to this development, this past year I have decided to embrace this option completely because, not only does it allow you as an IDC candidate to study at your own pace, but it allows me to take the time we have during ...

  4. A PADI scuba instructor course in Costa Rica - A Review

    The biggest risk you run from going pro at Oceans is being disappointed with other dive shops in the future. Really, Oceans walks the fine line between a shack on the beach and a corporate machine with both personality and professionalism. The staff members here are great people.

As long as you work hard and care, ...
