Merci Quiver…

I did my IDC in 2009 on the Perhentians with Quiver dive team… let say by chance. I was just heading there to do a bit of work as a divemaster waiting to go to Thailand for my IDC… then I found the Quiver team who offered to do the IDC with them! That was perfect because it was just what I did needed to become an instructor. Not a too big place, but just enought to get some good experience; the perfect staff were very funny and helped me all the way from the pre IDC, allowing me to learn under instructors; until the IE (which we all passed); as well the after IE party ; )

I’m now an instructor and I’ve been working in Asia and Egypt, and I always knew that if I got the keys today to be a good instructor it’s because the guys at Quiver helped me so much. Any body can get an Instructor card, but the most important is to feel valuable on the diving market after it, and this is only a matter of pre diving education.

Thanks Quiver, I’m happy to give some good words for you, see you soon.
