![]() Harald, the main Instructor, knows diving inside and out and is happy to share his wealth of diving knowledge with his students. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Their prices are much more reasonable than other diving organizations in the area. Rude, no patience, get loud easily, get angry and unfriendly. I think if you allready have a certificate, you can go dive with them. A real teacher asks you about how you feel and would have tried to ask what was bothering you and not shout at you. They wanted a discussion and it was ridiculous, because at the end what they really just said was: it's not the teachers fault if something doesn't go the way you want it to go.Īnd that's really not true. He was soo rude! Which teacher on earth says: I don't want you to waste my time! ?! I paid him to teach, not to finish as soon as possible! I got so angry about this, but said nothing. He said something like, he had no interest in wasting his time with me bc something is wrong with my mask. But something was bothering me in my mask, so I had difficulties doing the exercises straight away. I had to do some exercises which he showed me. When I felt better he took his time to explain all over again with me. He started his lesson with the other two girls and I sat outside the pool bc I felt so bad. He got mad easily and was no motivating teacher at all! On the second day I felt really bad (fainty, exhausted, ear aches) and he was nice on first place. I interrupted him sometimes, bc I didn't understand something or didn't hear it well for some reason. Anything I said he would answer with loud and rude comments. ![]() I felt mistreated by Harald all the time. So the first two days in the pool were not nice at all for me. ![]() ![]() Everything was messy at their place (Barbara takes care of animals which is nice, but you're constantli surrounded by dogs and cats.) and Harald didn't say much. So when we arrived we got over to say hi, and I had a bad feeling about them. That means, we were beginners with no experience at all in diving. We wanted to do the open water certificate in 4 days. He was very very good at pointing out creatures that I would have missed. Harald pointed and later told us it had been a manta ray but the rest of us missed it. We saw many morey eels and rays including a guitar ray. The first day the visibility was about 40' the second only about 10' – though the girls had a great time snorkeling – saw lots of fish – all said the best they had ever done. Had a new Sony Action Cam which I'd mounted to my mask strap – worked perfectly. I dove with a 3mm suit and especially the second day was a bit chilled when I finished. The German said that Harald had been recommended by a friend who's had a sport fishing business in Costa Rica for over 20 years. On the first day, there was a woman from UK and another from Germany. He claims to speak something like 30 languages – so all are welcome. though he was a bit more relaxed and jovial than any German I've know - so the Tico culture must have had some good effects also). He came from Germany to Costa Rica 18 years ago (and I'd say the German attention to detail has stayed with him. Harald was probably the most professional dive master I have had. I did 2 days – 4 dives and the 2nd day brought back my wife and daughters so they could snorkel.
