LUNCH How to effectively use your Instructor Manual / Counselling Session Standards Exam
Page 5
Course Activities 1.
Standards Knowledge You will be given an examination on the PADI standards and procedures, this is an open book exam, and is designed to assess your knowledge of where to obtain information from your PADI instructor manual for a range of courses. If any weaknesses are ascertained then individual guidance and selfstudy can be recommended.
2.
Academic Modules There will be Academic Presentations given throughout the course. The topics of these presentations are set out in the AI course outline.
3.
Orientation to Academic Teaching (Class room) You will be taken through a workshop situation on PADI’s Academic Teaching and throughout the course will be performing academic presentations. You will be evaluated on each of these presentations. After each evaluation you will be given your score and then a critic of your performance and suggestion of any necessary changes where you could improve.
4.
Orientation to Confined Water Teaching (Pool) You will be shown how to conduct a confined water presentation. In this section you will learn the most commonly encountered problems and practice your confined water teaching. This will involve a briefing, demonstration, problem solving and debriefing. When giving your presentations you will be in charge of a number of “Students” (Instructor Candidates) plus you will have one assistant. You will be expected to brief these “Open Water Students” and conduct your demonstration. The students will then proceed to attempt the assigned skill. Some of these “Students” will be assigned problems, you will be required to recognise these problems, solve or prevent them and debrief afterwards. You will once again be evaluated after each presentation and debriefed afterwards.
5.
Orientation to Open Water Teaching (Ocean) This will be conducted the same as the Confined Water presentations, however minimal demonstration will be given by you and you will start to combine several skills into one presentation. During the course you will be given Diving skills presentations to perform. Further skills from the Advanced and Rescue courses will also get practiced.
6.
General Course Orientation will be conducted at the beginning of the course briefly running through all activities and requirements.

Who is your Course Director ???? Gary Brennand, your Course Director started diving in 1983 during a trip to Rottnest Island with a friend and fell in love with it. He worked his way through to instructor while doing IT management work around Perth. Once an Instructor he spent as much of his time as possible diving and instructing on a part time basis. In 2005 after making a career and life style change to full time diving he moved to Cairns to expand his diving experience. He instructed for a number of companies and even worked on the boats as a Professional Underwater Photographer while teaching an IDC (instructor courses) every two months. He was honoured to be rated by PADI as a GOLD level Course Director in 2008. With a high success rate and pleasant teaching style the Candidates enjoy their program and continue their career path. The IDC Team needs to have fun, as this is what your own classes should be like. I know that to be successful in this industry you need to be very customer orientated and business driven. My real world experience will help you enormously. As it is at this point in your diving career that you make your most important decision, invest wisely and do not just book on any IDC but book on a “life style” with Perth Scuba and Gary, make use of our experience and gain valuable information that you will use for many years to come. Gary has dived in many places around the world and has gained a great deal of experience diving in these varied environments, some of the places Gary has dived include : Palau, Micronesia Manado, Indonesia Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, NSW Seaway, Gold Coast , Queensland Sipadan, Sabah , Malaysia Kota Kinabalu, Sabah , Malaysia Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth and Coral Bay , Western Australia Bali and Lombok , Indonesia Similan Islands and Phuket , Thailand Osprey Reef, Queensland Ribbon Reefs, Queensland Great Barrier Reef , Cairns , Queensland HMAS Perth , Albany , Western Australia HMAS Swan, Dunsborough , Western Australia Swan River and Rottnest Island , Perth , Western Australia Abrolhos Islands , Geraldton , Western Australia Maravagi and Tulagi (USS Aaron Ward), Solomon Islands Key Biscayne, Lancelin , Western Australia Yongala Wreck, Townsville, Queensland Gary can teach the following Instructor specialties: Underwater Videographer Instructor Drift Diver Instructor Dry Suit Diver Instructor Boat Diver Instructor Night Diver Instructor Underwater Navigator Diver Instructor Equipment Specialist Instructor Enriched Air Diver Instructor Deep Diver Instructor Wreck Diver Instructor Digital Underwater Photography Diver Instructor Care For Children Instructor Emergency Oxygen Provider Instructor First Aid at Work Instructor EFR Instructor
