    • Greatest Instructor Mo...
    There is no greater joy in life than watching your own child succeed. This is by far the best moment I have ever witnessed in my professional career as a Scuba Instructor. I dedicate this video to my oldest daughter Tessa. Know that you daddy loves you more than you will ever know, and it has been an honor and pleasure to share the experience of seeing the underwater world first hand. Always remember God Loves You And So Do I.

    I have a tear running down my cheek that started when you handed her the c-card. Reminds me of when my son and I certified together and got our c-card underwater. I was SO proud of him at 12 years old. After he got his card, he did a little dance underwater. It was at that moment, that I had to perform another mask clearing skill. This is awesome 👏. Congratulations Tessa!!!

    A great moment for you both!
    One question (and I am not questioning your professionalism in any way here): can you certify your own daughter? Wouldn't there be a possible conflict of interest somehow?

    • @jonnieinbangkok
      @jonnieinbangkok 3 роки тому

      I don't believe there is any conflict (just as there is no conflict in homeschooling a child); and if anything, a parent scuba instructor would probably be harder on their own child-student than a walk-in student off the street.

    • @michaelclarke8972
      @michaelclarke8972 3 роки тому

      If you feel that there may be a conflict of interest, there is no harm asking another instructor to take her through her paces. After all, if you think about home schooling, eventually the child has to take exams which is, of course, what you are teaching the child for.

    • @LakeHickoryScuba
      @LakeHickoryScuba  3 роки тому

      Hello Gijs va Lieshout, this is a concern that we hear a lot. But as others have stated, typically, parents will be harder on their children than normal students. This is the case with me. I expect more from Tessa than I do my average students.

  • @mikkosport2300
    @mikkosport2300 3 роки тому

    You have good reasons to be proud. She is really relaxed in water. Hwever, open water certificate does not qualify for penetration dives...😜

    • @LakeHickoryScuba
      @LakeHickoryScuba  3 роки тому

      This is very true N N. But one of the perks of having a dad who is an Instructor, you get extra training in the off days. She has 0 fear, which is very scary for me, but she tells me everyday, "Dad, can you train me on how to do this specific type of diving, I really would like to go and explore more?" So needless to say the rest of her summer is booked with specialty courses.
