Thanks

Last
May
here
in
Oshawa
I
started
a
PADI
IDC
program
to
work
toward
a
dream
I
have
had
for
many
years
to
become
a
PADI
diving
instructor.
I
was
ready
to
work
as
hard
as
needed
to
fulfill
this
dream
and
was
ready
to
do
whatever
was
needed
to
pass
all
the
requirements.
A
week
into
the
program
I
was
asked
to
leave
due
to
a
50%
in
a
physics
exam
which
was
just
a
pretest
to
the
real
test
which
would
have
been
months
away.
I
was
told
I
could
come
back
in
August
and
after
they
took
my
money
they
basically
closed
the
door.
I
was
crushed,
embarrassed,
upset,
hurt
and
was
second
guessing
even
working
toward
this
goal.
Before
I
had
a
chance
to
feel
sorry
for
myself
I
had
many
friends
and
even
a
few
people
in
the
same
position
as
this
instructor
that
said
I
was
not
good
enough
tell
me
not
to
quit.
I
picked
myself
up
and
looked
into
a
new
location
to
do
a
new
PADI
IDC.
I
just
completed
that
this
weekend
at
Kanata
Diving
Supply
and
I
not
only
passed
everything
I
did
extremely
well.
As
the
only
student
on
the
course
coming
into
the
PADI
IDC
as
a
non
PADI
diver
I
knew
I
had
a
huge
challenge
on
my
hands.
My
goal
was
not
to
get
perfect
but
to
work
toward
being
the
best
instructor
I
could
become
and
to
be
able
to
pass
the
IE
(Instructor
Exam).
I
guess
I
really
got
lucky
with
my
second
choice
because
Neil
O’Hare
and
Kanata
Diving
Supply
helped
me
do
just
that.
Not
only
was
the
instructor
a
great
teacher
he
was
also
a
great
leader.
The
students
as
well
were
all
amazing
and
understood
the
challenge
I
had
taken
on
and
after
they
got
a
chance
to
know
me
they
were
amazing
in
helping
me
learn
the
PADI
system.
It
was
fast
and
furious
and
so
many
new
things
to
learn
but
I
was
the
sponge
and
tried
to
take
in
as
much
as
possible.
It
was
a
3.5
hour
drive
and
it
turned
out
to
be
worth
every
minute
spent
getting
there.
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
at
Kanata
Diving
Supply
for
taking
the
chance
on
me
and
allowing
me
in
on
the
PADI
IDC
at
the
last
minute
you
and
your
staff
has
helped
make
this
dream
possible.
Without
the
support
from
these
people
I
would
have
never
been
able
to
do
this.
Kanata
Diving
Supply
ROCKS!!!!!!
I
can’t
tell
you
how
honored
I
was
to
be
taken
in
by
this
dive
center.
They
are
family
there
and
it’s
worth
the
drive
especially
something
as
important
as
the
PADI
IDC.
I
wish
I
was
closer
I
would
love
to
dive
with
them
on
a
regular
basis.
THANKS
Kanata!!!
