We found GS Diving for our year end family activity. THe wife and I were already certified for basic open water (but had not dived for way too long), and our 3 kids were fresh to the diving scene. We met up with Gary, and he was patient in explaining the steps for PADI certification (which had changed since when we took ours).
For the pool and open water dives, Felix was our Dive Instructor and he was easy going (while being safe) and did not pressure us at all to complete our pool check out. More importantly, he was able to quickly bond with our teenage kids.
We did the open water at Lazarus, where the currents were not too strong (one of our concerns for the kids and us as we're essentially touching the water again). Visibility was not the best, but we make do with what we have. While the kids went for the check out dives with Felix, we were partnered with Yann as our Dive Master/underwater tour guide. Yann was also a great help as both the missus and I were struggling a bit controlling our buoyancy and he was able to keep us together. Amazingly, he was able to pick up sea life in that low vis environment. It was not the best, and one had to really get up close and personal to see the corals and fishes and all the other sea life at Lazarus.
All in all, it was a great experience. The kids enjoyed it thoroughly as did we, and now, we're all certified to get back into the water and prepare for new explorations when the borders reopen. - via
