Course material was well presented and taught. Timely feedback allowed for quick correction and improvement.
All the dive sites allowed us to practice our new skills in a comfortable environment. The marine life was beautiful. A note that lunch on the first day is not provided would be good. |

| Instructor comments: |
Had a great 3 days with Chris and Sarah. They are both naturals in the water, teaching them was very easy.

The course was intensive yet a lot of fun. We were taught everything properly and when I had problems hovering, Mike ensured we practiced until we got it right.
Sting rays, Giant Morays, Pufferfish, Lionfish, Octopus, Nemo's, Parrotfish. We dived at Racha Yai and Racha Noi. Mike was very meticulous and insists on doing everything right. No shortcuts and I feel like I really earned my Open Water. |

Upkar and Akanksha did there Open water course together and helped each other all the way through. Upkar achieved his Open Water and Akanksha got her Scuba Diver licence. Great job y'all!

Everyone should take the PADI Open Water course. When you finish you're a whole new person. Jane was a great instructor and a very nice and helpful person. We had 3 days with a lot of fun. Thanks for taking good care of me.
Great dive sites and I saw a lot of fish. My favourite so far is the Reef Octopus, it's so different from the others with so many different colours. |

| Instructor comments: |
Such a nice course. Anders was really enthusiastic. Congratulations Anders!

Excellent theory part. Fun course (although breathing underwater felt pretty strange), nice instructor, technical stuff still to overcome.
Racha Yai - beautiful site with different fishes. Saw pretty corals, lionfish, stingray, butterfly fish, scorpion fish, puffer fish, and elephants! Wasn't able to make it to Phi Phi island. |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Great dives at Racha Yai, all buoyancy issues worked out by completion of dive 4. Shame the weather stopped us getting to Phi Phi.
