Hey all, I'm now an PADI OWSI. My stomach is still churning. It was a great time with some great people but was emotionally the most challenging week of my life. At the IE we saw people from several other IDCs. All I can say to anyone considering instructor trainging is to pick your CD carefully.
James, when you go to your IE be sure to do some major review since it's going to be quite a while between your AI and the IE. I saw some who had been AIs for awhile that had a really hard time of it because the regimented teaching skills were not fresh in their minds.

I've sort of backed off from that route now. Too much money for something I don't really plan to use. I'll do my AI this fall or next summer.

Congrats on the OWSI!

Congratulations! That is a big accomplishment. I think you deserve a break now to unwind. Maybe a dive trip? Huh?

Thanks everyone. Yeah a trip would be nice Julie but nothing major until Oct in Coz. Still trying to get a long weekend trip to the Cooper though.
