I never thought I would do my NAUI ITC in the chilly, murky waters of New England but that’s exactly where I found myself in November! Luckily, the weather was nice and the added bit of environmental stress and difficulty really helped me as I worked towards my NAUI instructor certification.
However, what I thought was going to be ten days of classroom, pool, and open water demonstrations turned into an incredible trip filled with awesome food, friends, and experiences. My hosts, Vin and Dee Malkoski, made sure that my time in New England wasn’t only spent studying my NAUI materials…they even took me to Plymouth Rock and taught me how to cook scallops!
After ten days of long hours put in by myself, Vin, and my other ITC instructors I finally accomplished my goal as my NAUI ITC course culminated at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute! What a place to finish!!!
