RE: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS - Of the shark kind. MyPictureDay submission.

Sounds like a poor example of how it should be done, but sadly familiar, so often a discover scuba experience(DSD) is badly performed resulting in what should be future divers leaving to never try again. When we do a DSD it takes about 2 hours, starting with a briefing then shown how the equipment works, this is followed by a session in shallow water to get used to breathing and calm nerves, then if all parties are happy we then take you for a dive, anything less is bad practice. Do hope you give it another try some day, maybe when all this virus thing is done you could treat yourselves to a holiday in the Philippines and come learn with us. Stay safe dude

I love Asia, so that is possible, these cowboys in Turkey just take 25 quid, chuck you on a boat, throw you in, take you to the bottom and expect you to know how, the only thing they said was thumbs up means you want to go up, but with nobody to signal, not sure how that was supposed to work out?.

Well that's certainly not our approach to diving, we have a reputation to maintain as almost all our work comes from reviews and word of mouth, we have managed to maintain #1 on tripadvisor in Moalboal for a number of years now. Would be great to see you out here. Maybe get to see some of the big boys featured in my @mypictureday post. Stay safe fella
