She Did It

Post by jimg20 »

The newest certified open water diver for PADI is Hot Wings. She did so well with her skills that they urged her to dive the Rhone Thursday. We'll be leaving early that morning.

We have used Low Key almost exclusively. We have tried others, but found that LK meets our needs best. That should not be taken as a slam on the others. It"s the difference between Fords and Chevys. Some like one and others like the other. Each of you have to determine what you want or need for yourself.

We took our initial and advance certification from them and now HW has done hers too. The instruction, in our experience, is very positive. If you are willing to stick it out, they will too. In the end, you will learn what you need to be a safe, competent diver. As "older" divers, it was much harder for us to master this than for HW. They took the time to get us up to the point where we could dive. One thing I like is that the classroom is in the water. And isn't it great water!

Over the last year there has been a change in staff. That has brought about an even better customer experience. We were sent an on-line survey already. We've never seen that in our 50 or so dives with them.
