Successfully obtained the Open Water PADI certificate! The instructors can speak both Cantonese and Mandarin👍🏻👍🏻 The course is divided into 3 days: day 1, go to the swimming pool to learn how to use gear and skills; day 2, learn to use the gear and skills in the sea first, luckily I learned the swimming pool first😂 If you don’t know the skill, don’t dare to go into the sea🤣 ; day3 and then fall into the sea to complete the course! The island is beautiful and the people there are so comfortable🤍
The course is well organized. Most of the theory will be completed in e-learning, and you will first practice skills in the swimming pool before officially diving in the sea! The coach is very careful! Before each dive, we will briefly review the skills that need to be practiced, and explain the use and demonstration of the skills in detail!
My local coach is Jie, and since he speaks fluent Cantonese, there is absolutely no problem communicating. His three days of training showed his immense patience. Although the diving test is easy, the biggest difficulty is the psychological fear. The instructor was very patient and encouraged me to move forward, and finally I passed the Open Water Qualification exam.
The instructor is friendly and patient in teaching. The water is beautiful and the weather is great👍
We encountered several typhoons and the weather was changeable, but we still graduated successfully. The four coaches were very patient and responsible, and the course arrangement was reasonable. I recommend it.
The service is serious and professional. The attitude of the service staff, including Jie Sir, is very good. They take good care of everything and teach carefully and meticulously. After the class, you will definitely master good skills, communicate effectively (Cantonese is very fluent), and the whole process is smooth and pleasant. I am very satisfied.
Coach DJ Kit is professional, careful and patient. Good review!
The super awesome instructors were very responsible in their guidance and made me feel the charm of the sea. I would like to go back to the original dive shop to take the AOW test.
