Well done Sue and Annie, they successfully completed their Instructor Foundation Course (IFC) last weekend and are now classed as Assistant Instructors.
This means they can deliver Ocean Diver and Sport Diver lectures and give pool instruction all under the direct supervision of a Nationally Qualified Instructor (NQI).
In fact actually doing the above is part of their ongoing training in moving to the next stage.
So please direct all requests for try dives, missed Ocean / Sport Diver lectures through me and I will refer it on to the girls.

Looks like the O2 Course is going ahead on Sunday 12 Nov.
The new venue will be in Mansfield so still not to far away.
Those of you who have applied will receive further details direct from the organiser Andy Gay (andrew.gay@virgin.net).

Unfortunately the O2 course may br postponed due to lack of suitable venue and an instructor to boss the event. EMSD (East Mids Skills Devopment) chappie decided to go on holiday without sorting everything out first!
Will keep you posted.

P.S. Would run it myself but need to assist on course before running one.

Sue and Annie have put themselves forward to do an Instructor Foundation Course in November. The IFC is the first rung on the Instructor ladder and can be done by Sport Divers and above.

Well done Martyn Brown.
Martyn completed his Dive Leader assessments at Stoney this weekend.
Martyn, Richard, Sue and Nigel all attended for various Dive Leader assessments and they actually managed to drag me along.
