Congratulations to Don Downing�and Andrew Solomon, who both hail from Key West, Tom O. from West Palm Beach, and Gary Hammond from Mt. Dora, and Chris Adams�from California�for successfully becoming new PADI Instructors! This month we had 3 OWSI’s and 2 AI’s! Chris is a member of the Rainbow Reef Dive Center Intern program who was completing the next step in the program.�Under the careful direction of Rainbow Reef PADI Course Director Ken Wilhelm, our candidates navigated the various�challenges of Confined Water and Open Water presentations, skill demonstrations, and written examinations�during the IE.�The written examinations covered areas such as Physics, PADI Standards, and Equipment more! Additionally, our�candidates had to exhibit a rescue demonstration involving an unconcious diver at the surface. Congratulations are also in order for PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer Jason Nocks and Bill Findley�who completed�the IDC Staff Instructor course. As a part of his Staff Instructor course�Jason and Bill�were active in the preparation and evaluation of the candidates during the IDC. We have attached a few shots from the IE that we snapped as they were going through. Congratulations to all!

    Congradulation to Chris adams for becoming a Instructor. I dove with you guys in February and Chris came that week. I got to talk with him everyday as he was learning the ropes. It’s exciting to see a young guy going for what he wants to do. Thanks for a great time and I may see you again next Feb or March. Good Luck Chris. Brian
