Saturday October 25
Training Kids – Small Divers with Big Dollars
8 am - 12 pm $99

Lynn Wickline from Aquatic Realm (a PADI Five Star IDC Center in Ohio) is back by popular demand. Her presentation on scuba programs for kids is outstanding. Whether you're thinking about starting a kids program or you want ideas on improving your current one - do not miss this presentation.

They flew Lynn out here a few months ago and I was thoroughly impressed. Lynn's ideas are innovative yet easy to implement. For example - scheduling a Seal Team session on Friday nights gives the parents an opportunity for "date night" while the kids get to have fun with their friends.

Topics covered include: sample schedules, figuring out how much to charge, tips on working with kids, defining your target market, dive equipment for little people, and the importance of charts and stickers.




Also by popular demand we're offering seminars on both EVE5 and eLearning.

For EVE5 we're offering beginner-level and advanced seminars.

• Beginner is offered Wed 22 Oct and again Fri 24 Oct
• Advanced is offered Thur 23 Oct and again Sat 25 Oct

For eLearning we have two programs as well: an intro program: setting up and using your virtual classroom and one for both new and experience users: maximizing your profit potential.

• The intro program is offered twice on Thurs 23 Oct - once in the morning and again in the afternoon.
• The second program is offered Fri 24 Oct and again Sat 25 Oct.
