what can i say, made an absolute a**e of myself, pannicking at the slightest thing during training in 4 feet of water! falling off the ladder onto the boat. our instructor matt was an absolute gem, professional, reassuring and not too bad looking either. the dive itself was fantastic.
Having spent a couple of days checking out all of the Dive Centers on the island, I found the guys at Divers Paradise to the most friendly and professional of all. This was really important to me as this was my first dive ever and, in fact, I had only been swimming for 2 months. Eva was very patient and spent a lot of time going over all aspects of the equipment and how to use it. One of the last things Eva said was to trust her and to trust the equipment - The best advice I've ever received.
The dive itself was amazing with us seeing all sots of fish and coral but best of all was the octopus. Diving really opens up a whole new world of experiences, so much so I have already started enquiring about getting my PADI cert.
Thanks guys for everything and thanks Eva for being so patient....next time I'll do the second dive!!!
