Comment:

Easiest A ever. Show up and watch videos for a few hours. She reviews the quiz then you take it. Pool dive included in class (done outside scheduled class) certification is not. Costs $110 to get it but worth it. Spent the weekend down in WPB for the 2 dives. Saw fish, stingrays, lobsters, mantis shrimp. All gear included. Highly recommend

Comment:

Donna is an excellent instructor. She is very knowledgable and experienced. She brings her passion and love of diving into the classroom and ignites that passion in her students. The class covers the PADI dive book chapter by chapter. You'll have to read the chapters, take chapter tests, make one presentation, take cumm. test, and a pool dive.

Donna is an AWESOME instructor! Scuba was one of the most fun classes I've taken, hands down! The certification dive was incredible! If you have the chance to take this class, do it! I got my PADI dive card before class was even over, and you can get on her mailing list to go on other dives with her (which she is always doing)!

She's a very good teacher, very experienced and will help you until you understand. She is hard to get a reach of and my diving license took forever. Overall, I recommend her for a great time and an easy A.

Donna is awesome. Got my certification card quickly, PADI even emailed me today and told me it was on the way. Ocean dives were a blast, going for advanced soon, Go for the saturday class... It sucks waking up early, but she never kept us later than 11. Great class, great teacher, but a real PITA to stay in touch with. Very cool and down to earth.

Had alot of fun with this class. She is a little hard to get ahold of, but she always got back to me. I havent had one problem with my certification or anything. I have my certification card for Advanced now also. You do have to do the ocean dives for the certification. Me and My boyfriend had alot of fun with this class.

She's a cool, laid back teacher. She does a good job, and you'll have fun with the course. This is for school credit which is cool. Getting certified on top of that is a bonus. She tries very hard to get you the dives and pool times that you need.
