We finished with the  Search and Recovery Specialty Instructor Course dives. We had two teams  of three completing underwater searches for a number of hidden objects  at Koh Tao&#8217;s beautiful Aow Leuk (Deep Bay). Riam, Massimo, Sarah, Chris,  Adam and John did a great job and provided me with a lot of laughs! As  they found all their objects (with the exception of my pencil), I bought  the first round of drinks in the Buddha Bar once we were back on land.  The Search and Recovery for my pencil was, unfortunately, a downer on  all the day&#8217;s training, but in all other regards, it was a successful  afternoon. Congratulations guys on attaining the esteemed MSDT rating!<\/p>\n<p>Now,  it&#8217;s back to teaching the IDC for me. Mark&#8217;s been taking the new guys  through the IDC prep course and is going to be off on holiday to the  north of Thailand as I get to complete the Instrucor Development Course  and the Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRI) Course with Kristina  and John. With only two Candidates on the current program, both of whom  are very well-prepared (I hope!) it should be a good time and a lot of  fun. I&#8217;ll start tomorrow morning with the Rescue Diver Skill Circuit in  the pool. Looking forward to the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" title=\"msdt-KOHTAO-IDC-INTERNSHIP\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/msdt1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"msdt-KOHTAO-IDC-INTERNSHIP\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Adam&#8217;s  devastated about the loss of my pencil&#8230; and begins the search<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" title=\"INTERNSHIP-KOHTAO-MSDT-thailand\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/msdt2\" border=\"0\" alt=\"INTERNSHIP-KOHTAO-MSDT-thailand\" \/><br \/>\nNo pencil here&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" title=\"thailand-kohtao-interns-KOHTAO\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/msdt3\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thailand-kohtao-interns-KOHTAO\" \/><em><br \/>\nRiam can&#8217;t find my pencil either&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" title=\"interns-MSDT-KOHTAO-thailand\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/images\/msdt4\" border=\"0\" alt=\"interns-MSDT-KOHTAO-thailand\" \/><em><br \/>\nChris\u00a0searches  for my pencil&#8230; to no avail&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I went out with a really fun group of TGI&#8217;s previous IDC candidates to finish off the MSDT Internship.
