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 Erik. 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 Erik was able to
get me down to see some pretty cool things. Please pass this on to Erik 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.
Thanks for adding a great experience to my vacation. Hopefully I will meet you in person next year when I come back.
Steve
