I
took
my
sidemount
course
with
Ocean
Quest
in
December
and
it
is
by
far
the
best
I
have
ever
taken.
I
also
bought
my
sidemount
kit
from
them
and
they
were
great
at
helping
me
set
up
the
entire
rig,
while
going
through
the
process,
so
I
could
adjust
it
myself
if
needed.
Alex
was
a
great
instructor
and
he
took
his
time
to
answer
every
question
and
went
through
every
single
step
of
the
course,
and
made
sure
that
we
understood
everything.
It
seems
like
the
owner
Greg
has
made
his
own
modified
program
for
teaching
sidemount,
(PADI
has
some
stuff
about
using
a
snorkel,
which
to
me
seems
like
a
hazard),
so
I'm
glad
they
didn't
ask
us
to
use
that,
and
this
to
me
seems
so
much
better.
Remember
it's
about
the
instructor
and
not
the
agency.
It
is
also
worth
mentioning,
that
although
you
can
come
and
get
your
OW
/
AOW
certs
here,
these
are
definitely
more
of
a
technical
diveshop
(but
don't
let
that
stop
you
from
going
here
if
you
are
new
to
diving).
Most,
if
not
all
of
the
staff
also
seems
to
be
diving
SM
themselves,
and
it
clearly
shows
(Fabiola
knew
the
length
of
the
various
bungees
by
memory).
I
would
also
mention
to
anyone
considering
buying
gear,
these
guys
will
let
you
try
most
things
before
you
buy.
I
only
had
the
the
Fourth
Element
Arctic
and
Alex
offered
to
let
me
borrow
their
vest
if
I
thought
I
would
be
cold.
A
lot
of
other
shops
won't
let
you
do
that,
they
will
even
try
and
sell
you
stuff
off
the
shelf
just
to
clear
their
storage.
You
won't
find
100
different
brands
of
masks
and
fins
here,
but
that
is
because
they
value
quality
over
quantity
and
only
sell
gear
they,
themselves
have
tried
and
would
recommend.
If
for
some
reason
you
insist
on
split
fins,
I'm
sure
they
could
do
a
special
order.
Otherwise
there's
other
diveshops
that
thinks
they
are
great
and
sell
them.
My
next
course
will
probably
be
the
foundations
and
then
off
to
rescue
diver.
Can't
wait
to
go
diving
with
you
guys
again.
