He has my highest endorsement!  I bet you are wondering why, right?  Well you could say I helped him on his path to becoming a most excellent Instructor.  So if there are any problems at all come see me, as I was part of his training.  Gary is doing what every instructor dreams, exceeding all expectations.

You can bet one thing for sure, I would not endorse him if I did not trust him with my most Loved Ones.  That Is the Best thing I can say.

He loves diving and teaching you to dive!

Day 16 academics

Tonight only one IC was available. In attendance was instructor Gary Peacock.

A presentation was given on Amontons law.

Serious headway is being made. Lots of suggestions were offered.

Correct terminology is a must! Some good ideas were tossed around for training aids.

IC's must have command of the master book, the leadership and instruction book, risk management and the S&P.

Next week confined water presentation on Tuesday,Wednesday another classroom presentation, leadership level. We will begin the S&P.

That is all!

Day 15 pool session

Tonight only one candidate was available. A good opportunity presented itself. A student in open water missed a class. The IC was given the opportunity to take over and present the confined water session. Things started pretty well, the prescribed format was followed... Initially! Then as we found out, old dive master habits die hard. The format must be followed, on everything, it is a confined water presentation.

Donning gear at poolside, fin donning with buddy, giant stride entry, underwater gear remove and replace, surface r/r, alternate air share, mask clears, hover was all gone over with the student.

The IC did gear removal, air off, swim to surface, ditch m/f/s , 25 yard underwater swim with booties on, m/f/s replace, breath hold gear replacement.

All and all a good evening! Thanks for the evaluation by Instructor Gary Peacock.

Use a copy of the confined water format! That is all.
