Word of Mouth
Hi Rodolfo,

I got back from PV a week ago and just wanted to let you know that I took the PADI course with Sammy.  
He was one of the best instructors I’ve ever had in anything.  He was patient, clear and knew exactly what
he was doing.  Having confidence in the instructor is important when you are under 40 feet of water with
100 pounds of weight for the first time and Sammy was able to get me down to see some pretty cool
things.  Please pass this on to Sammy as I want to thank him again for the great job he did.
The lady in the Marriot pool (Isela) was also great as was you whole staff (especially  “Father Pillipe” – he
has a lot of children).  
I was impressed with the whole operation and will definitely recommend your shop to others.
