Thanks for the welcome!
A brief background, PDIC was purchased by Tom Leaird. He has a lifetime of experience in the scuba industry serving on the board of directors for DEMA, worked extensively for the YScuba program, is an author of numerous scuba programs and he is a scuba instructor trainer and has been for decades. He is also a independent business owner of his own dive store with staff serving much of Indiana. He is now PDIC's new President and CEO. We are happy to be in our new offices in Indiana, and I'm not sure why Indiana wasn't represented in PDIC, but I know that has changed.
We are preparing to launch a new website which will have more up to date information on our PDIC leadership. Slowly but surely we are going in the right direction. It has been a huge (yes HUGE!) undertaking trying to organize the records of all PDIC Leadership and members, and that still continues. And we are grateful for everyone's patience they have shown so far. We are working hard on improving customer service, if you call, you will get a friendly voice and turn around time for certifications and replacement cards has greatly improved- usually only a day or two, and course materials are in the process of being updated.
As for me, I'm the PDIC associate and assistant to our Executive Director Thadeus Bowden. I am in charge of keeping people up to date, answering questions, sorting out issues and all things in between!
We will continue to keep our PDIC instructors and members informed.
