Instructor: Joe D'Agostino

The only thing I would have really benefitted from would have been 1 hour of free pool time at the end of day 1. I could have used several extra reps of water entry, as well as a few laps of finning underwater to get more comfortable. Classroom instruction was amazing. I liked everything about the Open water setup. 3 people to a float made is feel like personal training.

Instructor: Zachary Small

I really enjoyed my FII experience. Totally new to the sport and my instructor Zachary Small really helped me grasp the concept of things and helped me with my main issue : equalizing . I wasn’t able to equalize on my first course and was set to do a makeup of my open water and Zach would facilitate my calls multiple times with advice and encouragement . He helped me push through my issue and I was able to complete the course and fall in love with the sport . Now set to do more courses and I can’t wait to work with him again .

Absolutely Five Stars. As a well-seasoned citizen, I have taken classes of various and technical types. Joe delivered a most engaging and informative class. Joe, in my opinion, is one of the best trainers/facilitators I have ever encountered. For anyone looking for a class, this is where you want to start. The small group setting allowed for the one on one that I believe brought out the best in the students. Highly recommend!

Great course. Extreme focus on water/diver safety. If you are watching YouTube this most important component is not there. The dive techniques are significant to helping you improve and relax to best use your fuel.
