Real Mentors, Great Program.
Having started my Divemaster program with Bryan and Leigh, I can honestly say I can't think of any divecenter I would trust more. The training is simply excellent and I can see my progress day in and day out. I was nervous making the time commitment, but now I feel very confident in my future as a Diver.
