Why control is important when you are a dive professional.

As a PADI professional and particularly as a PADI Instructor we hold a great deal of responsibility each time we take a student into the water, be it the swimming pool or open water. The onus is on the instructor to provide a safe dive and complete that dive or pool session with the student/s without incident, which is why control is important when you are a dive professional.

Strategies to Help You Through PADI IDC Physics Exam

In all the years I have been involved in IDCs, the Physics exam is by far the most common “stress causer” that effects IDC candidates. Sadly often, it is the mere thought of doing Physics, even just the word that deters some candidates more so than their ability to answer the question.

The more times a student does that the more pressure builds for the next exam. The good news is that PADI does not expect you to be a physics professor. They just want you to [...]
