Cozumel – August 13 – 20, 2011

  Cozumel Mexico – August 13 – 20, 2011 This is a call to divers. I may not have met you and you me but I am sending out this invitation asking if you would like to join a team of divers from Open water to Master Instructors on a trip to Cozumel Mexico, on any number of days between  August 13 – August 20, 2011. The goal, dive and have fun. Meet new people and make new connections. I am producing a documentary on Lionfish and perhaps you could be one of the lucky divers to be filmed capturing and eating your catch for dinner that very night. Because of the location of the lionfish, expert diving skills will be required. There will be more than just filming lionfish, there are wonderful drift dives … Read entire article »

I placed this post out under PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) Discussion Topics area this morning. Why are Instructors excluded from being a choice for students to select when registering/signing up elearning? a few years ago, PICs were available online except for Instructors. Now elearning is online and ALL Teaching Status Instructors are not listed as a contact for the prospective student. Take the total number of Teaching Status Instructors there are in the database. Divide the number of IRRAs into that number and tell me if the quotent is a realistic number? That number represents the number of instructors / IRRA. It’s over a 100 instructors / IRRA. What is the average number of Instructors / IRRA? Perhaps 10. Why is there such a deviation between the two numbers? Now, take that difference, … Read entire article »
