"Review"

Comments: The theoretical part of the course is not very far into the issues. But the practice is incredible, very useful and fun.

"Great course and really useful"

Chris Smith on 24/2/2010 11:54:09 AM

Comments: The rescue course at first sounds like a lot of work, but having done it, it definitely is very practical and may save yours or someone elses life one day. Very well put together and taught by Carl and Cem with everything making sense by the end of the two days. Really helps your diving skills and being much more aware of whats going on around you in the water. Would definitely recommend sunscreen and a hat, but very much enjoyed the course and the way Abyss taught it, 5 stars...

"Great fun - remember to bring sunscreen!"

Ray Muirhead on 23/2/2010 1:29:41 PM

Comments: Rescue course was a blast - Carl and Jaime are both excellent instructors. Make sure you remember to bring sunscreen and a hat, most of the course takes place out of the water or on the surface!
