We dove off the local beach and saw horseshoe crabs and orange sponges, NJ. Vis was low but local diving is right in the backyard. – via google

2.0/ 5

Summary: Haphazard but mildly helpful and I still did get my certification, however I’ll likely re do it elsewhere before seriously diving.

Details:
I signed up for a private scuba certification. Sandra said the water would be very cold, so I also had to do the DrySuit certification.

The planning process for dates to meet and the pre requisites was rather scattered and difficult to pin down. One particularly annoying example of this scattered organization was Sandra’s insistence I show up on time the first day. I ensured I was and was there 20 minutes early. She was over an hour late. And also didn’t have the necessary supplies prepped (eg full tanks, etc). She also called me while we were both driving up the morning of our first day to review concepts. I insisted I was uncomfortable doing so while driving. Not to mention trying to learn or reinforce new concepts while driving just can’t be an effective technique.

I’d characterize her instruction style as rote, repetitive and disordered. Perhaps it’s helpful for some people, but she simply would not stop talking. I found it difficult to find space to just think.

The entire class felt chaotic, disordered and haphazard. I found it difficult to follow her lectures or more aptly rants. Instead I’d simply re read sections of the textbook at night, since I rarely got a straightforward or helpful answer. I don’t doubt Sandra is an incredible scuba practitioner, but I feel she struggled with effective teaching.

I’m a strong swimmer and swam competitively for 8+ years, was a lifeguard and a swim instructor. However I felt unsafe after suiting up in multiple layers and in an ill fitting dry suit. I did the necessary test swim, but frankly regret doing so. That’s the first time I’ve felt at risk of drowning in the water in a long time.

On the last day of class, her brother came to join for some of the test dives. They spent over an hour, during class time, in a back and forth, heated spat. I’ll omit the details for their privacy’s sake, but that’s rather unprofessional and just felt awkward to be around. I also played the mediator and tried to defuse the situation. Frankly, I paid a fair bit of money to dive, not listen to family arguments.

Sandra also requested I not leave a public review unless it’s 5 stars as this is her business and livelihood. I decided to respect that request for some time, but I think I was wrong to do that. Also such a request felt a bit slimy.

Sandra’s clearly very passionate about scuba diving and she’s certainly a great diver. But I think she could seriously improve her teaching style and organization/professionalism.

Edit: shortly after writing this review I received a phone call from Sandra. She was understandably annoyed. But kept asking: “why would you hurt me? Why would you hurt my business like this? Why are you hurting small businesses?” I tried to highlight that exactly this kind of guilting is part of the issue and my aim is to inform others of my honest experience and hopefully provide avenues where she may improve. Not to mention extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. Unfortunately she only continued to ask: “why would you hurt me like this?” I can only imagine many other more critical reviews have been taken down.

Edit #2: Before I hung up, I stated twice, clearly: “please do not contact me again”. However, I am clearly lucky as I received this follow up text message:
“I am appalled that I gave you a last minute class at a group rate, 3 days private lesson with one diver (note: I assume she’s referring to her brother who she fought with) joining the afternoon of day 3.

2 years later you hurt my business with a bad review? I went way above minimum standards for your class and have the video footage, which is not a public link on your bad review.

Edit #3: I once again told her do not contact me again. To that text, she replied:
“I gave you a good class, and 2 years later you reached out to hurt my business. YOU contacted me! “ – via google
