I was somewhat apprehensive about the pool skills coming into the class as I'm sure many people are with a completely new skill set. John and Mark were very clear, confident and able to teach the skills in such a way so that by the second day I too felt confident. Excellent experience!

Just wanted to pass on how great the diving weekend was in Florida. Sacha did a great job of professionally instructing the new OW Students. The weather conditions were very rough and she kept all the students calm and on task. It was a great experience to observe how to teach in the most difficult of conditions.

It was a pleasure to train with another professional instructor from OFD.

Dear Amy and Kathy,

Just wanted to thank you both for an exceptional series of nights, with Kathy for instruction on land and Amy in the pool, diving off the Clown fish boat!!

Your ability to teach and inspire "newbie" divers is remarkable. We both feel so fortunate to have had you as instructors. You both made the classes fun and safe. Somehow, Kathy even made the dive tables enjoyable - but hey, I enjoy diagraming sentences! Amy you were so patient in the pool and even made swimming in the 'empty' ocean fun. We both feel very well prepared and more importantly, feel that we understand the safety concerns and procedures. We are so psyched about our open water dives coming up next week! Once again, thank you for everything!

Just a quick note to say thanks again for the scuba classes.  Joe, Justin, and I went to Cozumel for my bachelor party last week with a few other friends to do our first "real" open water dives.  4 dives in 2 days.  I can say I'll never go back to dive Chatfield again.  Here's a picture of us on the boat.  We were more than prepared thanks to your expert training.  Thank you also for the referral to the dive shop - they were great.  See you soon for the Nitrox and Advanced classes.

Derek, Mike & I had a great refresher course with Sacha last Tuesday and we all feel a lot more comfortable going down to Bonaire this Saturday. We all agreed this refresher course was very important to take for any divers, like us, who have not been able to dive as much as we'd like. Thanks again for a wonderful experience and we look forward to sharing our underwater memories with the best dive shop in the world!

A very thorough class and Bruce was so passionate and he definitely shared that! It was more than just an instructional class but a look into a cool and fun lifestyle. Chad was sweet too!

From start to finish, Bruce and Andrew were helpful and encouraging. Even if I didn't get the skill down right away, they were patient and never made me feel bad for missing it the first time. I highly recommend the Ocean First Divers program.
