Start of my IDC

So the official start of my Instructor Development Course was yesterday. I met the other 2 guys that I will be doing the course with, 1 english, and the other belgian.

The course itself is basically going to consist of 2 parts, in-water skills teaching, and classroom presentation. I've been doing a fair amount diving lately also, though somewhat less impressive than my last set of diving. The dives I've been doing have been in fresh water sites around Cairns, which are not quite as interesting as the barrier reef to say the last, though since I need to get up to 100 dives before I can do my instructor testing these sites are ideal because they allow for my to do 4-5 dives in a matter of hours, and then have the rest of the day left to do classroom work or simply have the rest of the day off where if I was to be diving on the reef I would only be able to get in 2-4 dives in an entire day and it would cost a lot more (also the extra dives right now are not costing me anything). So I'm sitting around 75 dives done now, I need 100 to do my testing so in a few more days I will have all the dives done I need.
