want to go with my friend's outfit ?
He's a pretty strict instructor, definitely not one of those
pay-money-sure-pass type .... navy trained, but that's what you
want to become a competent diver. If you guys come as a big group
you'll enjoy big group discounts.
We went through advance training together, chap's good.
And if you only go for cheap deals, then you're likely to be taught
by a monkey. Which can be hazardous.
On a previous trip, I actually saw an instructor teaching
his students in 5 metre deep water.....directly underneath a
stationary boat's propeller!!!! My buddy was livid and made them
move away. He later tracked down the guy at the resort and gave him
a whitewashing.
