I first went to another company whom didn’t seem to care or want to spend the time investing in me to invest in them.
I then went to Dive Academy and Wow I was welcomed and sat down went through what I wanted to achieve, talked about how to do that set up my learning plans at a steady pace for me, with my disability taken into count.
Which has changed because I have not dive for a while and was nervous to begin with because of personal reasons.
Which the help of Darren, Louise, Rob, Frank and Simon (DM) I have got back to where I was before.
I am looking forwarded to the other courses I’m booked on for which are AOW, DUP, NightDiver, PPB, Rescue, Deep and then im going to get my Diver master, I would not consider doing my training with another company because the support I have received is more that I was expecting, Everyone within the club is willing to help each other out.
I have been diving a lot and I have currently a total dive time of 21hrs and 35 min of underwater time, I have been to Lundy, Durdle door, Newton Cove, Chisel, I have dives planned for Cornwall. I have completed my 25th Dive certificate with Dive Academy and Im currectly nearly at 50th Dive. I am a completely different diver from when I started up again from when I first learn. I have improved with my nervousness all because of the fantastic support of all the instructors, Dive Master and other divers. All learning is taken at my step and I’m a slow learner and I’m have never felt rushed or pushed into something I’m not comfortable with doing. With there onsite pool helps with training and also building up on your skills you learn to self improve. Best advice I was given which has help me loads is to get out there and DIVE, DIVE, DIVE. This has changed me so much.
When buying my equipment I got excellent service and advice from Darren when being kitted out and if I have any questions after sales they are there to answer it to help keep the equipment in the best condition for keeping it in tip top condition so it last longer. I also feels that if Darren or Louise has not used it themselves they won’t sell it in their shop. You can feel the passion when you walk in then store. Alway friendly and alway helpful on land and underwater.
I also had to redo my OW which was a great experience and a positive thing as my orginal instructor who taught me in Devon didn’t teach me all the things I needed to do so I learned new skills.
I would like to say a Special Thank you to Darren and Frank (instructor) for getting me to where I am now. I would also like to make a special Thanks to Simon (Dive Master) for all the support he has given me and diving with me on every course I been on and watching my improvement. - via
