The course was fantastic. A perfect balance between fun and actual skill learning and testing. The facility felt like a families embrace and by the end of the course not only did they manage to take 4 individuals who had never dived before and certify them, but they managed to instill a love for diving in me and my group. Also Derek (our diving tutor) was never short of a beaming smile and a perfect reflection on the standand, expertise and knowledge of the diving instructors at Atlantis diving centre
