Questions about the Open Water Diver course
“I was terrified of the ocean before this trip. Four days later I had my PADI card and had done four open-water dives. Rockshan is genuinely one of the best instructors I've ever learned anything from — patient, funny, and completely unflappable when I had a small panic on day two.”

“Swami Rock is something else entirely. The statues on the reef, the turtles, the sheer amount of life on the wall — I've dived in Thailand, Indonesia, the Red Sea, and this is right up there. The guides know every inch of these reefs. Highly recommended.”
