The November IDC came around very quickly and this time it was an all girl crew. The three ladies passed with flying colors, and as usual scored very well in the Instructor Exams, doing themselves and TSD proud.
l-r: John, Yvette, Sylvia, George, Louise, Mike
Yvette, Sylvia and Louise came to us from varying backgrounds.
Yvette has been with us for three months completing a full internship including Rescue and Divemaster. She is en route to being an English teacher in Korea but loves diving and wants to be able to teach diving as well as English. Koreans certainly like to dive so it sounds like a great idea to me.
Sylvia is the owner of Tepanee Resort, one of our partner resorts on Malapascua. So I am sure she will become a (more) familiar face at TSD. Sylvia will be able to teach for us every now and then when she has time, particularly with our Italian guests.
Louise has been working as a DM in the Philippines for a year and we are happy to welcome her as our newest member of staff. She will be staying on with TSD for a while to DM and teach courses.
Thanks as always to our FAB Course Director, John Taylor who did his usual magnificent job and to Mike and Rich who prepped the candidates so well and staffed the IDC. Also to Tony, Dustin, Karlis and Fred who helped out as suffering students.
