Vic Caban - 0WSI/EFRI/MSDT

Where to begin? First for context…I am an educator with over two decades of teaching and educational leadership experience. I started my Divemaster with Elishia in July 2023 all the way thru to the Instructor Examination Nov 2023.
The Instructor Development Course (IDC), run by Elishia thru Requiem Pro IDC in partnership with Scuba Tours, is of the highest quality. A memorable, fun, and truly top shelf experience in every way.
During the IDC we have access to the hotel pool for confined dives and practice while only being 100m walk to the beach and sea for the open water dives. Elishia’s attention to detail is impeccable and her ability to map out each candidates developmental map is of the highest level. This experience is truly about positive development. When you make a mistake she lets you know but in a manner that is supportive and not crushing. If you’re struggling with something, she finds time to work with you to make sure that you continue growing and learning all while fitting in the requirements put on her by PADI.

Elishia also has an uncanny ability to create a culture of “team” at what is very much an individual pursuit in a short amount of time. While the IDC days are long and sometimes frustrating, there is a culture of togetherness amongst the candidates that only helps each of us to keep moving forward and reach our full potential. This is invaluable! On top of all of this…at the end of the IDC, she doesn’t just wave “goodbye” and “good luck” on our way to the Instructor Examination (IE). Like any great coach/leader, she comes and lives the experience with us. We all do it together. This year all 6 of her IDC graduates passed their IE and she was with us every step of the way. Enough said.
Elishia…I am forever grateful and wish you continued success into the future. ❤️

Just finished my IDC and IE with Requiem Pro IDC and it was an amazing experience. Thanks to Elishia's professionalism and unbelievable level of knowledge she made the whole process very understandable and I could not have been more prepared for my IE. Thanks to Elishia and Requiem Pro IDC I am now a certified PADI specialty open water instructor and I am delighted with the result. If you are considering becoming a PADI instructor there it's no other place on the planet to do it but with Elishia and Requiem Pro IDC.

After just completing an IDC with Elishia in November 2023 I can honestly say she is one of the most impressive people I have met in the diving industry. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her capacity to keep up with a hundred different things at once and still make it all look easy is unbelievable. I'm honored to have been a part of her IDC and cannot stress enough how highly I recommend you take one of her courses if you have a chance.

Claudia Frederichi - Staff Instructor

I cant believe that I now actually get to say that I’m a PADI Staff Instructor! I’m just so grateful to the Incredible people who have Inspired me in my diving journey. A huge thank you to Requiem Pro IDC and our amazing Course Director Elishia Hartley, couldn’t have done it without you and damn what a role model! You are truly amazing and have inspired me beyond belief and i’m so proud to say that I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for everything.

Eleanor McCloughlan - DM/IDC/EFRI/MSDT/STAFF INSTRUCTOR

I just completed my staff instructor course with Elisha and I can’t ' recommend her enough. I completed my junior open water course almost 13 years ago now with Elisha at scuba tours. Her professionalism, knowledge and kindness stayed with me, so much so, I returned later in life to do all my PADI courses with her. I trust her completely and over the years she has become family (my scuba mama). I highly recommend doing the staff instructor course, it’s extremely interesting and helps solidify all knolledge from previous courses. Participating with the IDC was incredible and taught me a lot about communication, patience and gave me more confidence in my teaching abilities. Overall Elisha is fantastic
and no words I come up with will ever justify how truly amazing her work ethic and passion is.

My Son Callum spent several weeks doing his Divemaster course through the Summer. Such a professional & knowledgeable company, he literally enjoyed every minute there & learnt so much. He enjoyed being there so much that he's currently just completed his IDC EFRI & he's doing Instructor speciality courses this week followed by his IE. He always enjoys his time here & values the knowledge he has built from Elishia. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Thank you for helping him at only 18 to achieve his diving dreams.

Adam Eppel - DM/IDC/EFRI/MSDT

From the age of 14 I started diving with Elisha. I have absolutely loved the world of diving and due to my autism I had never thought it would be possible to attain my goal of Specialty Instructor. Elishia’s patience and determination and natural ability to make even the hardest things seem simple have helped me to push through boundries to achieve my goals. I have made friends for life. All thanks to Elishia, thanks for being the best Scuba-Mom ever! I would highly recommend Course Director Elishia and her Requiem Pro IDC team at Scuba Tours 5 STAR Career Development Center.
