My husband and I were the only two diving with Gregg and his wife. Im glad our group was small because the other groups sharing the boat were large with one instructor. I had a hard time my first time, but Gregg physically stayed next to me the whole time. I felt bad because my husband didnt get time with Him, but Gregg saw that He didnt need help, so Gregg refused to leave my side. Besides, Gregg’s wife was watching my husband, and she has over 70 dives, so apparently He was in good hands.
I dont think i would’ve done the second dive if Gregg didnt keep helping me like he did, which wouldnt happen on a larger group dive. So many times I wanted to go to surface to reset, but Gregg fixed the issue while underwater, like reminding me to counter the pressure in my ears. Whenever I had a small issue, Gregg was already starting to fix it right as I turned to Him looking for help. He must have been watching me like a hawk and must be able to read body language very well.
He seemed so excited when i got the hang of it the second dive. So many thumbs up and encouragement while underwater. Felt so safe. He kept pointing out pretty fish too that I had overlooked
Also, I didnt bring a shirt, and His wife, Tammy, had one, which she loaned me so I wouldnt get sunburned in the clear shallow water.
Thank you Gregg and Tammy for a greatexperience – via
