The PADI Certificate of Recognition

As Regional Managers we have always the opportunity to reward a Dive Centre or a Dive Centre owner when they achieved something amazing. Or, when the performance of the Dive Centre in the past year was outstanding. What really makes me happy is when an Individual Instructor gets mentioned in the Undersea Journal. PADI receives on top of that additional Emails from very happy customers about a particular Individual PADI Instructor.

I had the honour to present the certificate of recognition to the Head Instructor of Latchi Watersports in Cyprus – Stephen A. Harte.

Congratulations Steve! You are an inspiration and a true PADI Ambassador! 

Steve Says….

I was very much blown away by the award you presented to me today. I have been a diver since I was 15. Saving up my own money to buy the PADI open water course in my local town; back home because it’s all I ever wanted to do was dive and teach. I never thought that my passion for diving and teaching people ever since I was old enough to become a PADI pro would excel me to achieving something so wonderful and amazing.

My life through PADI has allowed me to experience the world and meet thousands of likeminded people. We share what we have in the ocean through first hand encounters. I have been an instructor 5 years this month and if the next 50 bring half the joy and achievement I’ve experienced in this 5; I’ll be grateful to have lived a life happy enjoying what we instructors do best’ teaching others about the 71 % they need to explore.

Thanks again Steve – Keep up the good work!
