Every day – from around the world – divers send PADI a steady stream of correspondence complimenting PADI Dive Centers and Resorts for outstanding customer service, and commending PADI Divemasters and Instructors for their professionalism and leadership abilities.
Each month, the PADI Member Recognition Committee reviews these submissions and selects one PADI Dive Center or Resort Member and one PADI Professional Member to be recognized as a global winner, an achievement which also features on the home page of the PADI Pros’ Site.
PADI EMEA is proud to announce that PADI Members from within the Europe, Middle East and Africa region were selected as global winners during July and August.
During the month of July, Fins Scuba (S-7891, UK) was chosen as the Diver Education Center of the Month. Their achievement follows a nomination by Gemma at Galaxsea Divers who had received this praise from one of their customers:
“Today I met one of your customers called Luke from the university who has trained through you. Luke popped in as he is home for the holidays and wanted to check out his local diving centre. I had a lovely chat with Luke and felt I should email you to let you know how highly Luke thinks of you. He had so much positive things to say about his experience with you which was wonderful. I wanted to email you to let you know that Luke highly recommended you and had all good things to say.”
During the month of August, Eddie Venter (PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, South Africa) was selected as Diver Education Leader of the Month after being given the following recommendation from Ruan van Biljon:
“This letter demonstrates my appreciation to one of the best PADI Instructors I have ever had. With his dedication to teaching others to dive and the level of professionalism that I received throughout my DM training I would recommend him to anyone that asks me for a PADI Instructor.
Learning to dive is rewarding as well as challenging, however with the flexible structure offered by Eddie I was able to complete the classroom and pool sessions easily as well as all the hands on work experience with new students, based around our work commitments.
With the amazing service that Eddie has provided us as well as the level of professionalism, I have already started looking for work as a DM”
Congratulations to both Fins Scuba and Eddie Venter for this exceptional achievement and for their professionalism and dedication to diver training and customer satisfaction!
