Open Water Class - 16 - 18 February

Three days of intense training and great diving.
John and Dan came down from beautiful and COLD Ontario, Canada. Loving the "Warm" weather they were jazzed about learning to Scuba.
Monday they arrived and we hit the books and paperwork, then it was off to the pool. We worked through all of the pool sessions and finished at 3:30 PM.
Tuesday we were off to Service Club Beach for open water dives one and two. The water was a balmy 62 degrees and the VIZ was about four feet. They both really enjoyed the tour on dive one and were psyched to get back in for dive two. Skills performed and we were back on the beach and headed back to Florida Underwater Sports for logging and prep for the next day of diving.
Wednesday we were out on "Reef Dog" and Lynn Silvertooth Reef. Every time I get out to this huge dive site I have a great time and usually notice or find something new. This time I found my first two Open Water Divers that I have trained as an Open Water Scuba Instructor.

Way to go John and Dan!!! It was a blast teaching you and a pleasure to meet you and diving with you. Next time you are here we will get you some more bottom time.

Carl,

Just wanted to say thanks so much for such an incredible experience! The open water course was something that I'll treasure and remember for the rest of my life. The first dive is one of those memories that I'll never forget! This is probably one of the best things I have done in life. Dan and I had a blast, and we were really glad we had the privilege of diving with you at Florida Underwater Sports. You are a fantastic instructor. In fact, we couldn't believe it when you told us we were your first students - it seemed to us like you'd been teaching for years. I sincerely appreciate your friendliness, professional attitude, and enthusiasm. Any training is so much better when you have a good instructor, so you made an already exciting activity all the more better. In addition to this, the sunny, warm weather, getting to use scuba pro equipment, unbeatable price, diving off the beach and at the artificial reef in the gulf made for a superb course and unbelievable vacation. We really had a good time and hope to dive with you guys again. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends!
