It was more than I expected. It was good. My instructor was very good.

Nitrox was awesome - technical and practical application is incredible useful.
Nitrox made the sites more explorable & increased my comfort level at depth. There was so much to see. Courses were a lot of fun and I'm glad to have increased my knowledge. And Steve took some great photos too. ;) |

Instructor - Awesome!! Talked to me, explained the skills again and again until I was comfortable. Best of all, encouraged me and told me every time I completed a skill how proud he was of me.
I was scared to swim in the deep side of the pool, he actually taught me the breaststroke, something my hubby couldn't do in 7 years!! |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Deena was absolutely fantastic with her skills, she is a very confident diver who will have no problems wherever she dives.
