PADI Divemaster exam passed

Yesterday evening we wrote the Divemaster Exam, all 8 parts of it. I must say that this was the hardest PADI exam I wrote so far, probably because of knowledge you have to take in. The exams covered the following topics:

1. Physics
2. Physiology and First Aid
3. Equipment
4. PADI Divemaster Conducted Programs
5. Decompression Theory and the RDP
6. Dive Skills and the Environment
7. Supervising Activities for Certified Divers
8. Supervising Student Divers in Training

For me the PADI Divemaster Conducted Programs was the most difficult one. Despite that I passed scoring rather well:). Magda had less luck, she failed the Equipment part and she'll have to retake it. It's good she only failed one, because if you fail 3 or more you have to write the whole exam again:/

The questions were not very hard, some of them could have been answered with only some common sense and little thinking. That said, if I wouldn't have studied for 3 evenings, I wouldn't have passed the exam...

In the begining of May we're going diving to Croatia and by that time we need to complete the Water Skills and Stamina and Demonstration quality Basic Skills parts of PADI Divemaster course. Otherwise we will not be able to do the Internship part there...
