Just wanted to quickly thank you, and all the staff at Sea Experience for a wonderful time. I learned a tremendous amount about being a Divemaster and thoroughly enjoyed the program. Thank you for all your assistance in the past helping to get everything situated and booked. Not only did I receive my Divemaster certification, but I was able to make many new friends (at the shop) along the way. You all run a truly exceptional business and I will definitely be writing positive reviews for Sea Experience on multi-media forums (Facebook, Twitter, Trip Advisor, etc).
Thanks again! I hope to see you all next time I’m in town as I have family in Ft. Lauderdale.

I flew from Nassau, Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale to study with Pam Bradley at Sea Experience; another Instructor, from Lauderdale Divers had directed me to them. I researched Sea Experience and read all these wonderful reviews about Pam and the school. I knew immediately I wanted to have the experience that these reviewers had raved about, especially after being directed to them by another dive op. I have to say Pam's reviews were confirmed after only a few days of meeting her. Tim and I both decided that we would also like to add ourselves to that list of satisfied instructors who would write about the IDC Pam conducts.
Simply put, Pam is the most inspiring and professional mentor I have had the pleasure to be trained by in my life. The entire time she represented her pride in being a PADI Pro, and encouraged us to challenge and better ourselves. I am so grateful to have had her as my Course Director for the IDC. Pam had patience and teaching skills that I have great admiration for, and I plan to follow in her lead.
She is a true mentor, who truly lived by the Instructor's Creed; fostering self-esteem in her students, taught the value of character and integrity and absolutely transformed timidity into confidence. It would be untrue to say anything else about this exceptional mentor.
I knew the IDC was a challenging and rewarding course from my instructor friends, but I had no idea that I would meet colleagues and a mentor that became a friend. I feel the need to express my respect and appreciation for Pam Bradley. I hope that all IDC instructors give their students the instruction and inspiration she gave me.

I traveled from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to take the IDC with Sea Experience. I just wanted to share and acknowledge the positive experience that I had when taking my IDC, October 9-19, 2012. The experience allowed me to be fully prepared for the IE exam of October 20-21, 2012 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Sea Experience;
The entire staff at Sea Experience is first rate, they were friendly, positive and helpful. They were very professional at all times. As you can image when trying to run a store and teach classes things can get a little loud. If it did they would shut the door to the classroom and apologize to us about the noise and also ask the customers if they can move their conversations away from the classroom. Which the customers did. The staff at Sea Experience always ensured that we were well taken care of, whether we were on land or in the water. The business practices and standards of this store appear to be well above other business that I have had dealings with.
Course Director, Pam Bradley:
I can't say enough good things with regards to the Course Director, Pam Bradley. She is energetic, knowledgeable, patient, calm and a true professional for the dive community. She went above and beyond to ensure that our skills were well developed and that our presentations and knowledge for the standards and the theory exams were well above the minimum standards. After water sessions she would work with students that required assistance in mastering skills and or demonstrations. The theory portion of the course was challenging for some and she stayed after the course day was done for an extra 1-1 1/2 hours to review issues that we had and would often put them into simpler terms so that we had the knowledge not just for the IE but to be able to use it as instructors. In addition to the assistance in the classroom after the course day, she also gave us her cell phone number so that we could call her after hours if we had any problems or concerns or came across a question while we were studying.
By taking the IDC with Sea Experience and Course Director, Pam Bradley I have been given the skills and knowledge to be a true PADI Professional. They lead by example and set standards for instructors which I am truly grateful for and will carry with me for a lifetime.
She made a passion and a dream come true!

The following is to inform you about my experience in the MSDT class, your CDC facility, but over all, about Course Director Ms. Pam Bradley. I do not have the fitting words to describe my satisfaction, pride, and fulfillment in regards of the quality of instruction I received through your center.
Sea Experience Center has a pleasant, modern and welcoming environment I have never seen in a scuba shop. Your office staff and boat crew made me feel part of them. They were approachable, accommodating, and funny!
Let's not forget Ms. Bradley. She is one of the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable, outstanding professional I have ever met. Her instructional delivery of content and her calmness during the classes and dives made me aware of the critical importance of excellent teaching. I enrolled in your MSDT class this past May 11, 2012, and I can't stop smiling. The value and quality of detail of what I have learned has definitely made me realize the significance of quality instruction with meaning. I became not only a better diver, but a better Scuba Instructor. Ms. Bradley knows how to deliver PADI standards with excellence and fidelity.
Well, in overall, I want to say thank you. You are definitely a bona-fide Five Star Career Development Center. Your staff, your crew and your Course Director are the real thing!

I wish to Thank Course Director Pam Bradley and the Staff at Sea Experience for the wonderful training and valuable experiences that I had while attending the IDC for my Staff IDC Instructor and HSA Instructor Certification.
I met Pam several years ago, while attending my IDC. Pam's professionalism and dedication to her profession and passing that information on to us students was invaluable and life changing. The main reason for me going to train at Sea Experience for my Staff IDC Certification is Pam Bradley. I can think of no other Course Director that I would want to train under or have other candidates train under, other than Pam. Her willingness to go beyond the lessons and not just give the candidate the information needed is immeasurable. She not only instills knowledge, but the pride and professionalism that goes along with being a PADI Instructor.
I am looking forward to seeing Pam and the Staff at Sea Experience again as I train for my next PADI Instructor level!!

Pam, I just saw that you were the official PADI member of the month on PADI.com!! Congratulations! This is a huge achievement and having gone through the IDC with you, I am not surprised in the least bit that PADI would grant this award to you. You really made a difference in my dive career and I just wanted to say thanks and congrats.
- Joe Heiser, USA
Mad props for being the greatest Course Director ever! Thanks for prepping me and helping me to be a scuba instructor. Because of you, I'm living the dream!
- Jeff Knapp, USA
You saw the potential in me, more than I had and you picked me up and guided me to allow me to pass with flying colors .I returned home and with all my new skills under my belt went out and assisted other divers and taught the PADI system and whilst doing that I still had the torch burning for me to progress and for you to take me to the next level. I know everyone always thinks the person who taught them to dive is the best instructor, or every instructor thinks there course director is the best. I know, with hand on my heart, I can honestly say you are the best, this is why PADI has given you platinum status and anyone who is serious about becoming an Instructor should contact you. Thank You Pam!!!
