Divemaster Training at Ocean Encounters West

Hi there,


I would like to let you all know that our Divemaster Trainee Lucy just finished her course with us, managing all challenges involved and helping us a lot running our daily operation as a hard working member of our team - thank you very much, Lucy!

Lucy is now proceeding to do her Instructor Development Course with Christian at Ocean Encounters in Willemstad; we wish her all the best, and of course we know she will do perfectly well and become a good PADI Instructor soon!

Greetings from Curacao
Andreas




Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte nicht versäumen zu erwähnen, dass unser Divermaster Trainee Lucy gerade Ihre Ausbildung bei uns abgeschlossen hat! Sie hat alle Herausforderungen souverän gemeistert, und uns tatkräftig dabei geholfen, den arbeitsreichen Basisalltag zu meistern - vielen Dank, Lucy!

Lucy geht nun einen Schritt weiter und nimmt am Instructor Development Course bei Christian von unserer Ocean Encounters Schwesterbasis in Willemstad teil. Wir wünschen ihr dabei alles Gute, und sind uns natürlich sicher, dass sie auch bald eine gute PADI Tauchlehrerin sein wird!

Mit fröhlichem Flossenschlag aus Curacao,

Andreas
