PASSED IE!!!! Brownie and I both passed the Instructor's Examination. We are no w simply w aiting for the PADI paperwork to come through so that we will be considered full fledged instructors. It was a grueling through the IDC and then on to the IE. We were well prepared from our Divemaster course for the Physics, Physiology, and Deco Theory and Tables, but the schedule and time to prepare so many presentations every day was exhausting. Below are some pictures from the IE open water portion at Jules in Key Largo. The water was a chilly 68 degrees Farenheit!!! We had a great December 2006 IDC Class - Tom, Cole, Corey, Nick, Josh, Brownie, Britney, and Adriana. Corey and Tom getting ready for their open water pre-dive briefing. Cole hanging out after doing his post-dive briefing. Nick, Britney, and Brownie discussing their pre-dive briefings. Josh working very hard on his presentations. Congratulations, Josh!!!!!
