After many years of wanting to learn to scuba dive, I finally decided to sign up for the PADI open water course during my stay in the Galapagos. I visited almost every dive shop in Puerto Ayora before coming to Tip Top. I wanted to be sure to find an instructor that made me feel safe and at ease. When I arrived to Tip Top, Javier immediately stood out as the most personable and attentive instructor that I had met. He was understanding and fexible with my schedule in organizing the days for my pool and open water sessions since I wasn't able to do them all in a row. And, during the sessions, he explained each skill clearly and made sure that all the students in our class understood exactly how to perform each task and why each skill was important to know. He is very patient and his calm nature put us all at ease. All and all, learning to scuba dive was one of the most fun times I've had! I can't wait to dive more. Thank you Javier for being so awesome! - via
