Feedback from Thor Harris PADI Master Scuba Instructor #95788
"Gerry,
Thanks for a brilliant course. I particularly liked the course style and the rate of delivery of key learning points. This meant that there was just enough time to reflect on the practicality of each learning message which of course reinforces it and make the course quite memorable. I walked away from the course with a knowledge base that would be easily recalled and used in everyday maritime and boating and that would be memorable and to hand in the unlikely event of an emergency. The practical nature of the course for liferafts, firefighting was excellent and is a huge advantage over “theory only” classes, I am convinced that the practical elements will make the difference should they ever be needed in an emergency situation.
I would strongly recommend this course to others – particularly others in the SCUBA diving industry.
Thanks again for an excellent course."
