“It is great to see an increase in PADI Instructor level training in French Polynesia recently. Of course this wouldn’t be the case without the fantastic efforts done by our Five Star IDC Centres. This time, the IDC and OWSI (instructor crossover) program was conducted at TOPDIVE-Bathys in Tahiti by PADI Course Director, Frédéric Despoix and IDC Staff Instructor François Lejeune. The candidates were well prepared and over the course of their training had formed a close team of great friends.”
