Day 7 & 8 ~ Open water time!
Yesterday was the first time the IDC candidates jumped to open water. This time they would learn to set up and find the dive site, manage the students in open water and Project aware time! Early morning we have gone to Sanur Channel with Minni and Taka. They needed to see how to use the buoy and line under the water. They practiced stationary skills and using the line for ascent skills. After that we were ready to do an underwater clean up of the dive site.
Minni was taught us about physic and pointed out 7 important things in physics. Yesterday we also have special guest from Thailand, Tony Andrew. He is temporary RM for Indonesia and he taught us about business in Diving. We finished earlier today and the IDC can relax a bit and enjoy the day because there will be no assignment for the next day 
Today we have a really great day with the presentation of physics and skills & environment! They all learnt so many things these days and become better day by day. We also have “Adventure in Diving” presentation today. We were closing the day with the passing score on the theory exam 3 for all candidates! Now you all can enjoy your holiday 😉 Have fun guys!
Day 6 ~ Confined Water Presentation 3
The IDC were doing really well for these couple days with their knowledge and confined water presentation. They have learnt about those presentations and this time for open water presentation. Minni explain how to do the open water presentation and give some assignment for the group.
After lunch we were jumped to the pool for the confined water presentation 3, each candidate already got their assignment. Some of them still nervous and some of them did really well. The Staff Instructor also learnt to score confined water, they were really eager to get to know more about it.
At the end of the day, the IDC Candidates were doing their standard exam and of course the IDC staffs were also there to help out. Too bad one of the IDC candidate didn’t feel really good so she came home earlier. Hope you get well soon Julie!
IDC Day 2 ~ DSD and EXAM
Second day of IDC was a refreshing day for the IDC. They will jump to the pool for the first time also doing their first exam. The day start with presentation about “Risk Management”, the presentation gave us the picture how we minimize the unwilling moment to be happened we are doing the course and fun diving as well.
Next resentation was about “Start Diving” the main point is we need to immediate take people to do scuba diving without waiting for days. For this part we can sell DSD – Discover Scuba Diving! You just need couple hours to do and that’s what we did in the class and pool – the DSD workshop. Finally they were jumped to the pool and refresh their mind.
Today they also show their ability to sell equipment and continuing education, they learnt the equipment feature, diving course , how to know what student need’s and how to close the deal! At the end of the day, we gave away the first exam to know which subject is the strongest and the weakest for each of the candidate so we can work through it during the IDC.
IDC August 2013 ~ Opening Day
Here we are at Crystal Divers and time to do another IDC. This time we have : Sabrina and Astrid from Germany, Julie and Stefano from USA, Josephine from Hong Kong, and Kiyoshi from Japan. In staff instructor side will be Rakhmat from Indonesia and Indo from Australia. Mari, Greg, Robin and Wulan will be on and off for staffing. Of course under our Course Director Minni and Taka.
It will take 16 days and 3 days for IE. They will develop their knowledge, skills, and attitude during these days and of course afterward. These 3 elements work together but the most important is attitude, with a good attitude you will be a good instructor for your students and your surroundings.
The course starts with orientation, this time you need to introduce yourself, where do you come from and why you want to become an instructor. Minni and Taka gave presentations for the IDC candidate as well as assignment during the presentations. Greg explained us about learning, instruction and PADI system nicely and finally we learn to make Knowledge development. The IDC candidate got their very first assignment for the Knowledge Development Presentation. Let’s the fun begin!
