OWSI

Hello all. I am now an Open Water Scuba Instructor! It was a long two
weeks of studying and presentations. Lots of info ! It was like a
college class squeezed into two weeks! The actual exam was the
scariest. Those two weeks would be judged in two days.
The first day would be the orientation and then six exams. Physics,
RDP ( Recreational Dive Planer), Skills and Environment, Physiology,
Equipment, and finally PADI Standards. It took about 3 hours to
complete all the exams. As far as I was concerned the hard part was
over.
Day two would be presentations and in water teaching scenarios.
Although this is the fun part it is still a little nerve racking
having the Examinar floating behind you assining error that will
simulate real life common errors. A strange focus came over me as I
watch for errors. But it's done! All I can do now is wait for my
Instructor Number and then I can start certifying divers!
I plan to get at least 5 instructor specialties done in the next few
weeks. With these I have more opportunity to certify divers and get 25
certifications which will then make me a Master Scuba Diver Trainer.
Life is good here in Roatan.
Largly unaffected by the political problems on the mainland. Life goes
on here. There is a significant drop in tourism which is hurting the
dive industry but the hope is after the November elections stability
will return and people will be more confident in traveling to this
region again.
For now it's time to dive!
Miss u all! Love u all!
