Best Life Skills Ever!! - Carolina and Marin are the perfect partners for this job! Caroline initially helped me with all the paperwork, online eLearning, and rescheduling due to the weather. Marin was very thorough in every step for your preparation for the open water dives (4). The assembly of the gear, details of what to do in the water, and made you practice everything in the pool first. It's everything in the eLearning and more, especially provided more info on survival skills. I wasn't nervous at all when it comes to open water ocean dive in the 1st day afternoon, and that is all because of Marin. He made me assemble the gears myself as part of the course, and I made a rookie mistake already. This shows everything needs practice. The open water dives are amazing, besides the coral reefs, he would practice communication under water with you, and test your skills again in the open water. Marin is made sure you are always next to him and check on your regularly. When water floods your mask, or regulator, or removing regulator from your mouth...think what Marin has taught you in the pool, and repeat it...the only difference is you are 30-55 feet in the ocean. The open water dives is a full boat, therefore don't worry...you are in good hands, and other divers will share their experiences with you including their best dives, locations, different adventures. BTW, signing up today for tomorrow won't work. eLearning takes time to complete (16 chapters and testing). It took me 3 days in between work to complete it. I wanted to do this 20 years ago, and only got to complete now. The best part of attaining the SDI Open Water Diver Certificate is you have the opportunity to dive around the world, recreational dives at the moment. I want to complete the advance course if possible, and I would come back to Marin and Caroline should the time and place permits!

Absolutely professional, very nice people, perfect education - It was so much fun to make that course! Beginning with Carolina who perfectly helped me out before getting to Mexico with all the documents I needed, how to get to the hotel where the course started and much more. She welcomed me with a big smile when I got there. Thank you! Now to Timoteo Marin: He writes about himself that he's a passionate diver. He's not only that but also a very good teacher! He patiently taught me everything I need to know according to the SDI standards. I could feel his passion for scuba diving and he explained a lot to make sure I get a deep understanding of how things work under water. When we were diving I could see how he interacted with nature under water: calm, respectful, absolutely professional, and always having an eye on me. I already miss these guys and Mexico. I had a really great time.

This was an incredible experance. - The teacher was very knowledgeable and professional! I absolutely had a wounded time learning from him. I would recommend this with all my heart. Also he went above and beyond and not only recommend a nice restaurant but also dropped me of there for free without expecting anything in return. He has integrity on make sure you lean every thing by the book!
