This was a well run course under unfamiliar surroundings both instructors presented the course material very effectively and the practical sessions flowed nicely.

My only criticism is that once we had done the 55 meter dive on tables / run times it would have been nice to be able to do the remaining deep dives using our VR3 computers.

This would allow use to become more familiar with; let’s face it, more realistic diving scenarios’ e.g... Diving using our computers and having run times as a back up system.

Overall this was an excellent course run with safety in mind and achieved, I will now go back and Practice, Practice, Practice, my new learned skills in the UK waters.

I would like to express my gratitude to both instructors Ray and John and say keep up the good work and high standards you have set

Ray,

I thought I would drop you a mail regarding the ERD course I completed recently. I think the course was run at the right pace with lots of time for questions and kit configuration, there was never any pressure or un certainly of what was required from me. I learnt a lot from the course and I have recommended you services to other people within my club already.

As soon as you have any information on the advanced mixed diver course let me know. The UK would be my preference but if we need to do it in Egypt that would not be a problem.

Cheers

Jamie Houghton

Many many thanks for the last couple of days, I have thoroughly enjoyed both days and learnt so much.
I have much more to learn I am sure in my own eyes.
This is down to your professionalism, dedication and the utmost patience.
I will recommend to other members of our club and those outside this environment, that they undertake training for technical diving with yourself.

The kit purchased, and personal set up is absolutely fantastic.
I cannot begin to thank you enough.

Hi Ray

I really enjoyed the course, particularly the skills/drills day at Capernwray.

For me the most important part I need to practice so that it becomes second nature is Shutdown Drills. I would of liked this subject to have been discussed more in the ERD book, for e.g. different scenario’s depending if a right or left pillar valve started leaking. Apart from that I feel confident with everything we covered.

Again thanks for all your help and I will be in touch as soon as my brother decides to do his ERD course.

Cheers

John

On behalf of myself, Steve and Darren many thanks for all your help with the course last week - it was a hell of a learning curve, but has given us plenty to think about. The AP Inspiration manual was full of things I'd never considered, and the course itself has also highlighted loads of things that weren't in the manual - hopefully we're all better prepared for when we finally get on our units.

With reflection, and catching up on my sleep, only now do I feel ready/prepared to do the course! However, with the exception of a couple of hiccups, I don't think we did that bad after all, and can't wait to get on my unit..

Many thanks once again,

Best wishes

Dan, Steve & Daz

Ray,

Many thanks for the email and a personal thank you.

Again the course content, structure, instruction and the dive on Wednesday has been absolutely brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable.

I would highly recommend other divers to follow suit and undertake both the Advanced Nitrox & ERD with yourself.

This would help them become 'better' divers, appreciating & utilising these skills in their normal diving activities..

Again many thanks and I look forward to diving with you very soon.

Best Regards

Dave

Red Sea February 2008

Dear Ray

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for running and organising my AMG course recently in the Red Sea.

The course was excellent and run at my pace making sure I was happy at every stage. It was also run in a safe progressive manner with briefings every day. You were also very patient and helpful when needed. Thanks to Brian ( Smith ) as well for his assistance.

I also found it very helpful to meet up before hand and go through the theory so that no time was wasted once we got out to the Red Sea. Thanks also for doing a skills and drills session at Blue Lagoon and helping me where needed.

Thanks once again for your help with the course and I look forward to practicing, practicing, practicing and then more practice as I gain experience.

Kindest regards

Frank Lintott
