| Student comments: |
Great course that was fun as well as instructive. Dan was a really good instructor and whenever I had a problem doing a skill or understanding something (which was rare due to Dan's clarity) he would help me complete the task instantly. I loved Dan's knowledge of the water as it allowed us to see sharks, turtles, sea horses and other marvelous sights.
Great dive sites with great instructor and even better marine life. |

Jakob had no problems, 3 easy days at the office!
