 IDC Daily Schedule

I was one of the four lucky instructor candidates attending the awesome February 2008 IDC held at Ocean Divers in Key Largo. All four of us passed the IE, and I just got email from PADI today confirming my new status as an Open Water Scuba Instructor. I can highly recommend Joe Angelo (Course Director), and Georgia Hausserman. They’re both fun to work with, they were both unrelenting in their commitment to our success (that means they worked us hard).
