Miss Jaime Kilby: From Tennessee to Roatan – Achieving Her PADI Instructor Dream

We are thrilled to announce and celebrate the achievements of Miss Jaime Kilby, a dedicated diving enthusiast from Tennessee, who has recently completed her PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) at TopSub Dive School / Dive Academy Roatan. With the expert guidance of PADI Course Director Vasco Ferreira dos Santos and the support of the entire TopSub team, Jaime successfully passed her PADI Instructor Examination (IE) under the evaluation of PADI Examiner Claudio Brandileone.

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Growth

Jaime began her IDC journey with a particular challenge in Dive Theory, especially Physics. However, through perseverance, dedication, and hard work, she made remarkable progress over the intensive two-week course. Her determination paid off spectacularly, as she scored 5.0 in most of her IE presentations, including classroom, confined water, and open water sessions. Jaime's transformation is a testament to the rigorous and supportive training provided by TopSub Academy Roatan.

A Collaborative and Supportive Environment

During Jaime's IDC, the TopSub team also had the pleasure of training a new PADI IDC Staff Instructor, JC from Alberta, Canada. JC's involvement added a layer of fun and support, making the learning experience even more enriching for Jaime. His presence not only contributed to the overall positive atmosphere but also highlighted the collaborative spirit that defines our training programs.

Strengthening Through Training

At TopSub Academy Roatan, our IDC is designed to identify and work on the weaknesses of our candidates, transforming them into strengths. Jaime's journey is a perfect example of this philosophy in action. By focusing on areas that needed improvement and providing tailored support, we ensure that our candidates emerge as confident and competent diving professionals.

Congratulations Jaime and JC!

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Jaime and JC for their exceptional achievements. Jaime's success is a shining example of what can be accomplished with determination, hard work, and the right guidance. JC's new role as a PADI IDC Staff Instructor further enhances any dive shop he will be working with, and we are excited about the positive impact he will have on future IDC candidates.
