2008 March IDC Class

From 2008 March IDC

Celebrating the successful "all cool Chics" iDc class! I'm proud to watch Gayatri and Danni came through the IDC and I beautifully. The best part is knowing that both are pursuing their places in the industry dominated by men. Gayatri will be the senior instructor at Barefoot India in the Andaman Islands for the coming season, and Danni accepted a 3 months contract in Maldives at a 5 star resort. I'm looking forward to see both ladies rising to the top as 2 of the best of 2008! You gO GiRls!

Taking the Plunge & change your career?

I often get asked "the question" when visiting with my former IDC students and friends, "how did you know when you make the decision to live your life as a dive instructor?"

I answered it the same way as I always had in the last 4 years, it's like when you know you have fallen in love.

There are so much risks involved when you found yourself falling in love. It's that yearning feeling to be with your love one all the time. It maybe taking the risk and tell that someone you love him/her. It's letting all of your emotion, pride, and security hanging out there when you take the chance to go after what you love... Let's say that he/she accepts your love proposal, and off you go toward happily ever after. Please keep in mind that you still have to put your energy, time, effort, patience, and even change the way you look at life to continue this fairy tale.

Now flash to today, change the word "love" to "diving life", then you have it. The risks, feeling of insecurity, uncertain future outlook, and daunting tasks of having to work to keep your fairy tale alive are there awaiting if you choose to go after what you love.

I chose mine as if it was love, and I am still in love today. Are you able to fall in love so deep that you will take the risk?
