Name(s):	Martin C Muckett
From:	England
Course:	PADI Open Water Diver
Date:	20 February 2010
PADI Instructor:	Justin Hartrey OWSI-494797
Student comments:	Justin was an excellent instructor, clear explanations, demonstrations and correction of my technique. The lane on input was matched exactly to what was required. It could not have been better... 100% Fantastic - as a long term free diver in the Red Sea, the sites we visited were definitely on a par with the last 2. Probably surpassing in terms of the number + varieties of corals + fish. I was a bit seasick on the 1st boat day. The experience of Dive The World has been extremely positive. From the moment we entered the shop to the time we surfaced as PADI Open Water divers. Flexible, fair, clear - delivered what they said.
Instructor comments:	Just like riding a bike, no problems very easy + enjoyable 3 days for me as well.
