If
you're
in
the
Eastern
Province
and
looking
for
your
introduction
to
diving,
or
to
get
certified,
or
to
upgrade
an
existing
cert,
look
no
further
than
Bateel.
Trust
me
on
this.
For
context,
I
live
in
Riyadh
and
planned
to
visit
Khobar
over
Eid
break.
I
contacted
the
center
a
week
before,
and
they
were
happy
to
set
me
up
with
a
personal
plan
to
ensure
that
I
could
get
Open
Water
certified
(upgraded
from
Scuba)
over
the
course
of
a
weekend.
I
was
given
access
to
the
PADI
online
eLearning
portion
well
in
advance
to
help
me
prepare,
with
my
incredible
instructor
Muhammed
assisting
me
every
step
of
the
way.
In
addition
to
the
online
course,
Muhammed
Zoom-called
to
provide
me
with
a
refresh
of
the
basics,
answer
all
my
questions,
and
help
me
prepare
for
the
online
exam.
On
arrival
in
Khobar,
Muhammed
seamlessly
guided
me
through
every
part
of
the
practical
requirements,
and
was
incredibly
encouraging
and
helpful
throughout
the
process.
Even
when
I
struggled,
he
never
faltered
or
failed
to
hype
me
up,
and
when
I
finally
met
all
the
requirements,
he
was
just
as
happy
for
me
as
I
was!
I
even
managed
to
join
the
team
on
a
scheduled
boat
dive
in
Jubail,
where
he
and
other
members
of
the
Bateel
team
took
amazing
care
of
our
ten-person
group.
The
two
dives
we
took
off
the
Jubail
coast
were
breathtakingly
beautiful;
we
visited
a
shallow
wreck
and
a
coral
reef,
and
the
experience
was
just
wonderful.
The
Bateel
team
really
made
my
first
boat
dive
an
unforgettable
one,
and
my
love
of
diving
is
only
stronger
because
of
it.
All
in
all,
I
cannot
recommend
Bateel
enough.
Whether
you're
an
experienced
diver
looking
for
a
group
to
join
up
with
for
planned
dives,
or
a
beginner
with
no
experience
eager
to
learn,
Bateel
is
the
place
for
you.
