PADI Course Director – Mike

Staff Instructor Course - September 2024. I had a chance to be Mike’s student twice. First during Nitrox instructor course. The way he presented his impressive knowledge, backed up with a diversity of examples, together with his patience, helped me to trust Mike very quickly. That’s why I decided to grow my career further with him and go for the Staff Instructor course. I was able to audit all the IDC and be present during IE. Mike is very patient, he made me feel welcomed, even in busy period always found the time to clarify any concerns and ensured that we are on the same page. I also really liked the direct, constructive feedback, openness and non-judgemental atmosphere. Best Course Director and the quality of teaching I could imagine. That’s not the end, I will be coming back!:) Thank you for Everything!

TecDeep Course May 2024. Once again, thank Mike for taking the Tec Rec course, since I have previously taken the instructor course. He has complemented me with the new knowledge he has taught me and the attention he provided at all times. Thank you not only for the teaching both in the water and outside but for the experience I have had. Thank you so much Mike! Until the next course!

IDC May 2024 + MSDT Preparation. Ho finito da poco l’IDC con mike e non posso fare altro che ringraziarlo per la preparazione fornitomi. Sono arrivato all’IDC preparato con la teoria, però con qualche piccola paura sul come riuscire in poco tempo a poter insegnare. Dopo pochi giorni dall’inizio già queste paure non c’erano più, mi sono trovato subito a mio agio e ho capito che con l’andare del corso avrei imparato moltissime altre cose e sarei stato pronto a fare qualunque corso, e così è stato. Grazie mike per la pazienza e ci si vede presto.

IDC May 2024 + MSDT Preparation. I can just say good things about doing the IDC with Mike. He delivered us all the knowledge to be successful for the IE in a very efficient way: he was always using on us teaching methods that he was currently teaching us. I arrived to the IDC well prepared, but I am happy to say that I learned an impressive amount of things. We covered together all the IE parts (dive theory, PADI standards, in water training…) but he gave us a lot more than that. He managed to make this IDC an unforgettable moment for me and for the new friends I met there. We were a small group of four during the 14 days. The study room was in brand new shape and offered all the material to make the teaching efficient. Mike’s organisation and experience were very valuable. Thank you so much Mike for this life changing experience!
