My recent New England Dive Rescue Diver course was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a welcoming and professional atmosphere. The instructors, Steve and Will were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. They explained everything clearly, answered all our questions thoroughly, and created a fun and supportive environment for everyone.
While the course covered all the necessary techniques for a real-life rescue situation, the instructors also emphasized safety, preparedness, and their own experiences. I left the course having had a blast, having made new friends and dive buddies, and feeling confident and equipped to handle a real-life diving emergency.
