Wow! My oldest kid, 18 years old, felt very apprehensive about learning scuba. He desperately wanted to be able to do it, but had many fears surrounding actually accomplishing it.
He attempted a group class with an excellent and highly competent instructor at Aquaventure but it did not go well. He really needed time to process each step and get a handle on each idea. The initial class went great for the other 3 members in our family who took it through aquaventure with Hanu. Couldn’t say enough great things about how it went for them all!
I called Aquaventure after he flunked out and arranged for a 1:1 class with Noel. Although I was a bit worried that he’d further feel defeated and it’d be a waste of money, I was delighted to see what a great fit Noel was for him. He took the class painstakingly slow to accommodate my son. He never once got annoyed or frustrated by my son’s need to take things at a much slower than normal pace. He encouraged him and challenged him at a level he could handle. It took much longer than a typical student would need, but Noel kept the goal in mind and worked with him to get every goal met! It was a miracle! I am so thankful for how hard Noel worked to grow my son’s confidence and make scuba a future possibility for my son. I can’t say enough about how great he was to work with! And Hanu too, he got the rest of my crew certified quickly and they had an excellent experience! Would highly recommend both instructors for certification.
My words of advice after this: just know what you need going into your certification to set everyone up for success. – via
