Libby’s Koh Tao Dive Course Feedback

Posted 23rd July 2012 at 11:15 am

Here’s some nice feedback we received from Libby, who recently learned to dive here at Simple Life Divers:

…. just wanted to give you some feedback regarding my experience at simple life last week and more particularly about Olivier, who was my instructor. I came along to Koh Tao with some friends who were more experienced and I was finally willing to have a go at diving-just try it which in itself was a really big deal for me considering the idea of it has always terrified me and I had always avoided trying it before. But Olivier was so reassuring that I was able to overcome the nerves and to go for it and he was so kind and helpful during the dive, I actually was able to enjoy it! In fact he helped me so much that when others decided to do the Open Water, I did too. I found my nerves came back in dramatic style though and whilst I was able to do the academic side and the confined bit, when we went to do the dives I was so nervous and sea sick, I couldn’t do it. I had pretty much decided to give up but again Olly was so kind, patient and supportive and offered to teach the remaining part of the course one on one and go at my pace. I decided to do it and I managed to get certified!! I’m so happy that I overcame all the challenges and feel so much more confident now. obviously my determination helped but I honestly could not have done it without Olly. I just wanted you to know what a fantastic instructor he is and if I were you I’d do a lot to keep hold of him!!!

Thanks again for a great diving experience at simple life! Keep up the good work!

We look forward to coming back again in the near future!!

Kind regards,

Libby Bentham
