We found it pleasant and we have learned. It was the first time we dived and the instructor was patient and explain everything very well. Everything went alright.

We only saw small fish (at Racha Yai Island), no big fish, but otherwise beautiful scenery and nice coral reef.

Eileen was a little nervous (afraid of water) but she overcome her fear and did very well, so an accomplishment really!

Bert was fine and loved it.

No problem, very professional. Instructor is excellent - very patient and easy to understand. We wish we had book more dives.

Dive sites were very good. We will definitely be doing this again and will ask for the same instructor.

Good student, though Michael had a bit of a problem with regulator recovery but he was very determined to master the skill and did it in the end. Both love diving and they see everything very well with good buoyancy.

My first time diving was an excellent experience. I felt really comfortable with my instructor. I could not have asked for a better experience.

My second dive site was great. The dive wall had many types of fish and other marine life. Tony was good about warning me about dangerous things. My first dive was excellent preparation for the second dive.

I consider myself a very adventurous person. You can expect this experience to stick with me as I pursue a lifetime of diving. Thank you

Keith had no problems at all; his second dive at Koh Doc Mai was perfect.

This is my first time to taste diving. It was not as fearful as I expected. Nicolo my instructor was most patient to me and he repeated the steps more than 10 times. Finally I could breathe in water.

Dive sites were shallow and easy to accept for first timer. Marine life was beautiful. Saw many breeds of fish.

I have overcome my fear in diving.

Nadia was a bit scared about diving but then she was fine. Next time open water course!!!
