Hi all,

Just a quick note to thank everyone for this week.  Ben and I have been made to feel very welcome and have had a tremendous time (too many people to name individually).  Special thanks to Simone and Gianni who have been very patient and given us all the help  that we have needed.  Also to the excellent Italian DMs and DMTs (you know who you are - Paola, Max, Enrico, and Luca)  who have been really inclusive. We have shared in all our experiences with them and from whom I have learnt a lot from just observing.  It's been fun and hard work (damn that faulty compressor!) I now truly know what it is like to be a TB (tank bitch).  Which incidentally doesn't translate well into Italian so don't try it! (the nearest is 'tank slave').

I would thoroughly recommend an internship week to all the London Scuba DMTs.  Invaluable experience and a great way to tie up any loose ends and finish the course with a working holiday - not that it really feels like work.  I would certainly not hesitate to come back and do the IDC in March with Miles and co (that is if I feel ready for it - lots of great DMing to do back home first!)

Luca - hopefully see you for a return internship at London Scuba (build on that English so you can teach the entire world to dive).

Thanks also to Daz for smoothing the way for this week.  And all the top tips and rude Italian words (they were great ice breakers!).

Ciao

I thought your course run by Duncan Jagger was excellent.  As a fairly active serviceman of over 20 years experience I have done many, many practical training sessions of a similar nature (though not diving) and I found the referral course to be extremely well instructed, easy to follow, pitched to the students and very professional.  I was slightly surprised really by how good it was.  Feel free to use my comments as a reference, though not my personal details please.
 
Anyway, I've always said I'm a bird not a fish (I am a pilot by profession and all my hobbies involve flying or the wind) but now I might become interested in being a fish...
 
I'm looking forward to open water diving in the BVI next month for sure.  I don't think I'll just be doing the 4 qualifying dives.  Let's see what I can crack in 2 weeks.

Hi Ian

Just a quick note to say that I've just returned from Sharm and has the most wonderful time diving -think I have the bug for it now.  Thank you very much for you and your team's dedicated training.  Special thanks to Simon, Duncan and girl who's name I can't remember -she did my refresher just before I went.  Hope to come along to a club night soon.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I just wanted to say thank you to Dan and Paul for an excellent weekend – they were both great.

I loved it and am looking forward finishing off my certificate in Spain.

I’ll definitely be recommending London Scuba to other friends!

Regards

Michelle

Just a quick e-mail to say how much I enjoyed my course with London Scuba.

Our instructor, Dan Cook, was an absolutely awesome instructor, and I’ve had my fair share in various lines of work over the last 10 yrs. From McDonalds, Morrison’s and various nightclubs, The Air Training Corps, Royal Marines, my Flight Training School and my current employer British Airways. I would rank Dan as one of the best instructors I’ve had. His knowledge and enthusiasm for his job really came across and I would love to dive with him again. It’s this experience that has made me decide on London Scuba to further my diver training.
 
I’m going to wait for my November roster to come out, in 1 week,  to see if a few days in Nov would be a possibility to do the 4 qualifying dives.
 
I definitely would like to progress to at least Advanced Open Water and Dry Suit with a possibility for EFR and Rescue diver in the future.
 
Best wishes
