Bini Pool PADI Refresher to Warm Water Dive Holiday_small

We had a great time relearning how to Scuba with Sam...

My husband and I recently completed our PADI Refresher course with Sam; we had alot of fun, re-learnt the skills we needed, but most importantly, gained the confidence needed to be safe under water after being away from the sport for many years and recovering from recent spine surgery. Sam organized a pool program that allowed me to slowly test myself physically and mentally post surgery without being on a strict schedule or ever feeling pressured to accomplish a task until I felt ready. As my confidence in my ability grew, Sam made sure that we covered all the required lessons and included tips for diving in warm water and with a dive company. Sam’s gear was in good working order and clean. The pool activities made relearning the skills much easier than in open water. The online portion was easy to work through. Overall we had a great time relearning how to Scuba with Sam, then we had a fabulous warm-water dive holiday, and we would love to take more lessons with Sam and get back to diving along the Pacific Coast.
