The June 2014 PADI Course Director Training Course was successfully conducted in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, at the newly completed Westin at the Punta Cana Resort. PADI Course Director Mark Goldsmith of Blue Vision Adventures provided exceptional logistical support and the staff at the Westin made the group feel welcome.
This international program brought together 35 candidates from 15 countries and was translated from English into Greek, Italian and Korean. The participants were experienced PADI Master Instructors selected from a number of applicants for the course, which focused on the PADI philosophy, instructor candidate counselling, instructor-level presentations and evaluation.
