Captain D.J.
Master Instructor

We are pleased to announce that we’ve added 5 new PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors to the dive industry. The January IDC was another success with everyone getting very high scores and impressing the Instructor Examiner.

Congratulations to James Begeman, Brad Grizzle, Suzanne Hutchings, Michael Jordan and Glen Way. We also would like to congratulate Venson Jordan on his achieving his IDC Staff Instructor certification by staffing and helping with this class.

Brad is born and bred in Texas, James is from the Midwest but spent the last bunch of years in California. They are both Interns in the Rainbow Reef Internship Program, and they have taken the next step towards become the best dive professional they can be.

The rest of the gang also hails from far and wide, Michael Jordan (not the basketball player!) is from the Los Angeles area, and Glen is from Key West! Suzanne comes from England but came up from Turks and Caicos (where she currently resides and works as a DM) to attend this program. Venson came to us from Washington, DC.

The pictures have our happy new Instructors, with Tom Witmer (Rainbow Reef’s�Course Director) and Gary the PADI Instructor Examiner. And of course, one goofy picture just for kicks.�
