My son completed a bubble maker course with Resurface Dive and it was wonderfully engaging for my 8 year old. He had a great time with Haylie keeping it both fun and safe. I really enjoyed being able to watch. It was very professional and as a diver myself, I felt very confident in the capabilities, the nice small class size, the facilities and the quality of gear provided.
Great day diving with Haylie, took my 2 boys 12 and 14, both Junior Open Water certified. She gave a really thorough briefing and took time to ensure the boys were comfortable with their gear, proper buddy checks and knew what they were doing. She is an absolute professional.
Easy pace of the dive, not rushed, checked in on air consumption regularly and overall ran a smooth dive. 100% would dive with her again
Chad from Resurface Dive is a calm, patient and thorough dive instructor. We have had Chad accompany us on 2 multi-day charters in the past and both times he has been excellent with our family. He took multiple family members diving and snorkelling who had anxiety issues and both came out of the water amazed at their ability to handle being underwater.
As a busy executive I was amazed at the benefits of Scuba Diving - forgetting all other stresses, you are forced to focus on the moment - your breathing, moving and taking in the beautiful underworld around you - a true reset button on life. Scuba Diving provides huge benefits for mental health and Resurface Dive are focused on providing the best experiences and benefits for divers of all abilities.
I would recommend Chad and Resurface Dive to anyone and everyone.
