All three of them began their diving with us last year and have progressed all the way to becoming polished dive professionals, with experience leading and teaching divers! It’s a real pleasure seeing folk come and learn to dive with us and then continue all the way to accomplished scuba Instructors, becoming our good friends along the way.
