I
chose
Aquarius
to
get
OWD
certification
for
my
13yo
to
be
able
to
join
me
in
the
water
on
an
upcoming
vacation
after
looking
at
a
few
different
options.
They
are
located
not
far
from
me,
but
a
personal
recommendation
from
an
avid
driver
who
got
his
teens
certified
there
a
few
years
ago
clinched
it.
Shona
was
an
amazing
instructor
for
the
in
pool
portion
of
the
course
over
one
weekend.
Leo
essentially
ended
up
being
my
kid's
dive
buddy
as
there
were
11
in
the
group
(with
Shona
teaching
and
3
assistants
including
Leo).
They
were
so
patient
and
excellent
at
getting
everyone
through
the
skills,
even
taking
one
person
aside
for
one-on-one
instruction
when
they
struggled
a
bit.
A
couple
weekends
later
Cornel
was
the
instructor
for
the
open
water
portion
at
Gulliver's
Lake.
He
was
fabulous,
taking
excellent
care
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
two
kids
in
the
group,
and
ensuring
everyone
was
able
to
master
the
required
skills.
He
took
great
care
to
tailor
things
to
the
participants'
needs,
including
getting
those
who
were
feeling
cold
despite
the
7mm
wetsuits
through
the
skills
and
out
of
the
water
faster.
The
equipment
provided
for
the
course
was
all
very
good.
Not
only
are
their
courses
extremely
well
run,
but
they
did
a
good
job
advising
us
on
equipment
and
were
able
to
order
in
a
specific
dive
computer
that
I
wanted
to
upgrade
to.
Highly
recommend,
especially
for
kids/teens
looking
for
certification
in
a
supportive
and
safe
environment.
