I did my advanced divers license with Acuatic and Orlando and although all in all I am happy and I am over the moon that I have my license and I was able to do/see what I did, there were a few things that did bother me a little bit, which are just things I like to point out to make it an even better experience for everyone else to come (Acuatic is still a recommendation as dive center). It was my first dive after one year and I felt really rushed at my first dive, I do not think it was the best idea to put me to the open water course (not because I am better, definitley not what I am saying) but just because I did not feel like there was a lot of focus put on my training in this instance and things were sort of forgotten. Also I told Orlando at 700psi that I am out of air and we still kept on going and even though it might be true that on this dive I just used more air than the others (because I was getting used to it again), there should have been more awareness about the situation and not making be feel bad later on because I was out of air quicker (of course I should have also focussed on it even more). The other dives, especially the cenote dives went must more smooth and way better in all aspects - on a personal note thought - please do not speak spanish the whole time (instructions were in english) if you have one dive trainee with you (3 people in total) that barely speaks the language. That just makes one feel very excluded and not comfortable, like no bonding going on what so ever and me just standing there. Orlando is an amazing diver and of course knows a lot, so there is defintitely so much to learn from him, I think we just were not on the same wave and maybe that played into a few things, I dont know. Just the more major things mentioned here. - via
