Mike Hewitt - Cyprus / PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor

I would like to say how much I appreciated your professionalism and patience during the course and am pleased to be able to say I was one of your first successes along with Peter from your first course held in Northern Cyprus.

Thank you for your dedication to the diving industry.

The IDC program with Jurg as my Course Director, was lots of fun and very professionally run, although it was hard work the schedule allowed plenty time for remediation and extra practice. The classroom facilities are the best i have come across and any materials you might need are immediately to hand. I had no difficulties going straight from the IE into active instructing and have received valuable advice and assistance from Jurg while I have been working.

Peter Stokes - Cyprus / PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor

Jurg,

Thank you for the hard work and encouragement during my IDC. Your professionalism and enthusiasm helped me to pass my IE. The PADI and DAN speciality courses have pointed me in the right direction for my future teaching methods.

I wish you and FineGlobe every success for the future.

Kitty Verhagen - Netherlands / PADI Master Scuba Diver Traimner

I was working in Cyprus as a divemaster when Jurg told me about the IDC. Since I love diving and want to make a living out of diving I was very interested and signed up.
The IDC started on the 15th of June. We had a small class, just 4 IDC candidates (by now I should say friends). The IDC was great, the best course you can ever take. There was a perfect balance between the time we spent in the classroom and the time we spent in the water. It was hard work because if Jurg teaches you something, he wants you to learn it perfectly. So a lot of hard work but also fun!!! That is what diving should be all about, having fun! Also when you are teaching, you should enjoy it; be serious about what you teach but enjoy it at the same time. That, to me, is the most important lesson learned. Because, only if you enjoy something yourself, you can bring it on to other people, share the enthousiasm. Now, a year later I'm still enjoying teaching diving. Even so much I'm going to give up my office job and want to be a dive instructor full time. Doing the IDC with Jurg thought me to live up to the standards, and made me realize even more how important they are. We have spent a lot of time together underwater as well as in the classroom. You learn from each other and help each other out. Real teamwork. As a result of that, we all passed our IE with succes! Can't say we weren't nervous but we were well prepared for our IE.
Just one thing if you’re considering doing an IDC with Jurg... make sure you're not on a diet.... but other than that, I'm sure you will have the best education you can get and have lots of fun!!!
