Course was well structured.
Instructor was well prepared & there was obvious evidence that he had made preparations in his own time Visibility & marine life were plentiful. Moray eel, octopus, school of small and large fish Thank you for a great holiday. |

Giving 2 breathe instead of 1!
Re-practice couple of time and went fine afterwards. |

Great course for advancing your diving. Too bad the book is not accompanied by a DVD to keep knowledge refresh. Knowledge review is a lot tougher than the exam. Great exercise and they make sense. Koh Racha Yai: no time for marine life too busy playing scenarios. |

Sam is a very good instructor: serious but relaxed and very friendly.
I liked the course very much; it was serious work but rewarding and very good for your own confidence as a diver.
Racha Yai: Lots of triggerfish! |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Very good student, both of them are eager to learn so it was a pleasure for me to teach them. |

Very interesting course and reassuring. I would be more comfortable if in my own language. Instructor very professional and motivated. Also very helpful in adapting the schedule.
Beautiful site Racha Noi! stone fish, scorpion fish, lion fish, Indian Ocean walkman, pipe fish and nudibranch... I was lucky to have 1 day of fun dives in between, Theory - Pool and Open water scenario. It gives time to be prepare. |

Even though it was a lot of work, this course helped me become a more confident diver. Darren did a good job teaching me the rescue techniques and answered any questions I had.
Phi Phi - green sea turtle. |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Excellent student - theory completed before the start of the course, 49/50 for exam and completed all practical tasks with high levels of application.

| Student comments: |
Dan tried to kill me in the pool! But it's OK, he provided me with the skills and training to control the scenarios presented.
Shark Point, Bida Nok, Bida Nai. A wide range of species, eels, sea snakes, rays and frogfish, in between 'rescuing' Dan. Scenarios were well planned and realistic. The boat crew and staff were very helpful and professional. |
|
| Instructor comments: |
With all of Justin's medical training and excellent dive skills, this often difficult course was easy to teach.
