Myself and my partner got our certifications at ASU. Adam our instructor and the owner of ASU is…read moreeverything anyone could ask, from a scuba instructor or any instructor/teacher, period!
From being extremely knowledgeable, to extremely patient!
Very kind, humble and a sense of openness, to even the most unlikely questions that we had, from just being curious and new at scuba....
Very flexible with our schedules, from meeting with us for the first time, to pool time.
Once we had signed up with ASU, we started our PADi online course. Once all the chapters and tests were completed the "second" phase of pool "hands-on training" started.
We met with Adam at an amazing indoor pool facility. Went over all safety checks, equipment, signals, etc...
We did several days of pool exercises, learned everything from safety, our equipment (BCD, Mask, Computer, etc), how to clear our mask underwater, buoyancy, assisting your "buddy" in case of an emergency, equalizing (hardest to overcome for me), pressures, etc...
Adam really is the best instructor we could have ever asked for! He worked really hard until we understood what he was teaching/showing us and over all until we accomplished what we needed to learn. Safety is top priority for him.
We also, bought all of our equipment from Adam.
FYI - don't call your MASK, goggles!!!
