I wanted to let everyone know that I passed my PADI Instructor Exam this past weekend. I am now officially a PADI Instructor, well in 10-12 days when my card arrives! :birthday: It took about a year to get some "free" time again to redo most of my IDC and travel to Nacogdoches and Blue Lagoon. It was a grueling, but fun weekend. It feels great to finally accomplish this and I wanted to share with y'all. I know some of you thought this day would never come. :birthday:

Thanks to everyone for all of the support!

My condolences, Victoria. Now almost everyone you dive with will be a threat to your continued existence. But then someone has to take the chances and accept the potential liability! I wouldn't wish this on my best friend. Oh, wait... most of my good friends ARE instructors!

Congratulations!! :thankyou: Teaching is great (most of the time) and you will love it - it can be very rewarding. Getting to that level takes a lot of work - you should be proud! :thankyou: :thankyou:
As for me, I'm feeling pretty scubalicious.
