Reviews: SSI Open Water Diver Course 2 Day | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-05-07
The world under the sea is so wonderful! This dive test can see the wreck and dive to see the coral. Here is the recommended reason.
1, feel safe.
The reason for choosing SSI at that time was one-to-two, which gave people a more adequate sense of security than a pair of four. Very lucky, during this class, the master's master also came together and became one-to-one, and the sense of security was very sufficient. 💪
2. Communication by the way, trustworthy
Before departure, the coach will pull the WeChat group, and the reply in the group is very formal and written, which makes people afraid that 😨 is like a robot reply. However, I went to the offline and found that the coach's Mandarin was very good, and the coach would also speak Cantonese Hakka. The communication was smooth, and my friends and I trusted him very much.
3. Encouraging education
During the interactive teaching process, the coach asked how much nitrogen accounts for the air. I said 78%, and my friend said 72%. The coach did not directly deny friends, and 72% was the proportion of land on the earth. In the practice process, it is also actively encouraged, and it is also a good thing to make mistakes during the learning stage. This is a small detail for praise. 👍★
