PADI IDC at Jetty Dive Coffs Harbour

I spent a fantastic 2 weeks up at Jetty Dive in Coffs Harbour, conducting an EFR Instructor Course, a PADI Instructor Development Course and several specialty instructor training courses.

(Pictured to the left are Mike Davey, owner of Jetty Diver, Andrew, Nathan, Jack and Chris with PADI Course Director Des Paroz).

We had four candidates - Jack, Nathan, Andrew and Chris - who each successfully completed both the IDC and the EFRI programs, and who each went on to successfully complete the PADI Instructor Examination held in Sydney on 28-30 January 2011.

The programs went really well with great diving off Jetty Dive's brand new dive boat Wild Fin off the fantastic dive sites of South Solitary and Split Solitary Islands. Conditions weren't brilliant, following recent flooding at Grafton, just north of Coffs, but we still had some great dives.

During the programs, the candidates also completed a PADI UW Naturalist Specialty Instructor Course and a PADI Emergency Oxygen Specialty Instructor Course.

Jetty Dive is a fantastic dive operator. Lead by Mike and Debbie Davey, the Jetty Dive team put a lot of thought into providing a fantastic diving experience for their customers of all levels.
