I am writing this on behalf of my daughter Grace, who has gone for two years. When I hit the link to write a review it is not allowing me to change the user (sorry not very strong with tech). Anyways, Grace LOVED each experience (advanced certification 2021 and Rescue diving 2022). Each trip she met a wonderful group of friends which she continues to keep in touch with. She was able to see some remarkable places (although there were some restrictions due to the pandemic, which was understandable). More importantly she learned very important skills and experiences in diving through the lessons, reading materials, and exercises while at camp. She has already put those skills to good use. We took a Cruise August 2022 and booked a dive outside the cruise ship (which I often do without any problems). This one dive in the Caribbean wasn't the safest. Grace alerted the Dive Master he took the gorup of us (about 8 of us) too deep at the depth of 129. She tapped him and showed him her dive watch, at which time he directed us to all ascend up. My son, who is only a Jr. diver shouldn't go that deep. I believe the dive boat dropped us off about 100 yards off from the correct spot and a recent storm made it difficult to find the cliffs they were looking for. Any case, after finding it my son used a lot of air and did his safety stop with the dive master and surfaced. The dive master left a local teenage boy with the rest of the group. Although the teenager may know how to dive, knows the area well he wasn't responsible enough for the group. Grace began doing hand signals to alert everyone to do a safety stop. She indicated how many minutes we had as every minute went by. If anyone started to go to high she would signal to them to come down to her level. Overall she took over the situation and used the skills and techniques she learned at ActionQuest. So THANK you Actionquest for teaching her such valuable skills that were put to good use. Many friends, family and strangers who overheard any discussions about Actionquest know Grace's feelings about it- SHE loved every minute of it. The crew, the friends, the boat, the landscape, the excursions, the water sports, the beaches, the hiking, and the swimming. The ONLY thing she complained about was the food (not the highest reviews) but I think shes being too critical. We would recommend the program to anyone interested in going. We hope she can go back next year. - via
