Captain D.J.
Master Instructor

Rainbow Reef would like to congratulate the following brand new PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors who graduated from the Instructor Exam today:

• Kristen Franzen
• Michael Cosby
• Jason Nocks

They all did a great job and the Instructor Examiner said “PADI HQ is going to ask me if I was drunk because all of the scores are so high. I haven’t had a weekend this easy in a long long time.” Which is his fancy way complimenting the outstanding work by the candidates during the exam.

Kristen is participating in the Rainbow Reef Internship and she’s been working up to this for the last couple of months, so it’s a big milestone for her. Who knows, she might be your Instructor if you decide to visit Rainbow Reef for a class!

Michael Cosby is visiting us on leave straight from Iraq where he is an f-16 pilot in the Air Force. Please join us in thanking Michael for defending our country and way of life. We hope he can safely return home to his friends and family as soon as possible.

Jason is a local Key Largo resident who recently completed his DiveMaster certification and then decided to join us for the next step of becoming an Instructor. We wish him luck in the Dive Business wherever he may go!

If you are interested in following the dream of becoming a Dive Instructor, don’t hesistate to contact us and we will do our best to help you make it come true.

Special thanks to Owen Fonda for being the man behind the camera and bringing you these great action photos!
