UTD IDC, Hemmoor, Germany
23-27 August, 2014
With my experience of nearly 2000 dives in
various circumstances (most of them cold, salty
and dark down to more then 100 m), trained as
GUE Tech 1 and IANTD full trimix, I became
part of a UTD IDC at Dive Station Hemmoor.
With advice of Instructor Trainer Candidate Michael Deckert, support of Divemaster candidate
Charis Rabea Schlundt, and under direct supervision of UTD Instructor Trainer Jeff Seckendorf, I started this UTD IDC with a mixture of
expectations and doubt – was I the right candidate for such an interesting challenge: educating people in a way for proper diving.

From day to day the doubting went away and was replaced by the conviction: to be trained
and become part in developing “thinking divers” is a fantastic opportunity for getting more
fun in better diving.
Thanks to all participants, especially to Bernadette for the fantastic dinner!
