Adam's Foundational IDC

Hi,

I am just back from UTD HQ in San Diego, having successfully completed my UTD Foundational Instructor Trainer path.

Adam, Wang Yuan and Jeff

This was an awesome learning experience - a first internship in September 2012 with Jeff Seckendorf leading the IDC, me auditing the process and understanding how things were done. Then a co-teach in San Diego earlier this year, again under the guidance of Jeff and AG, putting into practice teaching how to teach. Finally, last week, I ran the show just about alone, with a great instructor candidate, Wang Yuan from Hong Kong, who cave trained with Caveheaven last year.

It was an exhausting yet exhilarating four days, involving lectures, dry runs, pool sessions, open water dives, briefings, debriefings ... a huge learning curve for all involved! Many thanks to AG and Jeff for their support and guidance during the whole process.

Now, I am proud to be a UTD Foundational Instructor Trainer and I look forward to developing future instructor candidates from all corners of the world in the Riviera Maya in the UTD/DIR/Hogarthian way of teaching. Caveheaven is the first and only UTD Professional Development Facility in Latin America.

For further information on UTD Instructor Development Courses, cave diver training in the world center of cave diving or improving your diving skills in general, at whatever level, please contact me at adam@caveheaven.com.

dive safely and have fun,

Adam
