Egypt 2005
April
Overwhelming demand for GUE instruction brought 12 instructor candidates
from 9 different countries to Hurghada, Egypt for 10 days of instructor
training. These candidates were afforded were able to work with four of
GUE's five Training Counsel Directors (Jarrod Jablonski, David
Rhea, Mario Arena, and Richard Lundgren); the eminently qualified Bob
Sherwood also joined the group, providing an intense educational
experience for all involved. Part of the instructor training involved
working with 10 highly motivated Russian students as well as two
remarkably well prepared Polish individuals living in Egypt. The group
dynamic was remarkable with everyone showing tremendous passion. At the
end of the ITC a few days were reserved for pleasure diving in the Red
Sea. Special thanks must go to Marlin Inn for arranging all the logistics
and for DecoStop for its participation and dedication.
