I am so belated in this review, as I did my pool sessions back in March with Thor. I am reminded that it was still outstanding because I am headed to YayScuba with my partner to manage his bottles now. I suggested he call them because I had such a positive experience and then realized I have only been sharing that with friends and family instead of in formal review.
I was lucky enough to be Thor's solo student during my sessions and he did everything possible to make me comfortable. All of the skills were very personalized and he is very experienced and knowledgeable. Even more important, he was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and was quick to repeat skills that I misunderstood or was struggling with. The scuba world is very male dominated, but I was never the only female in the pool nor was I ever made to feel less capable than the male students doing a refresher course. Thor made the skills fun and he was meticulous about making sure I understood and could safely execute each one. I cannot recommend the shop or Thor enough to anyone starting out, but especially to women entering the water. read more
