Adjustment after response from Happy Divers:
When I put my debit card on your payment terminal, I said that I would leave a review with my experience if I had to pay the full amount.
The instructor responded with: okay is good. For the record. Here's the whole story:
My sister-in-law thought it was exciting. The instructor said to her: So you are the first to go underwater with me to practice how to get water out of your glasses. She did not dare. He said yes you can, come on. She said, very nervous: wait a while because I find it very scary and heavy. I just want to get used to it! Leave one of them first. Okay, the instructor said, then you. Well, that was me. His violent reaction startled me and I did not feel at ease. I also wanted to get used to it as we had just swum 10 meters with a heavy tank and had never done this before. When we asked if our men, who were also there, could first practice with him underwater, so that we could get used to the weight of the cylinder in the water and the tension could drop by persisting together, he said, no you have to go through it, come on, you will first go under water with me. My sister-in-law said, no sorry I don't want to be first because I find it scary now and I really don't like this !! Okay he says, then get out. Well, there my sister-in-law went back to the side crying on her back. Because I was anything but calm by now, I went after her 2 minutes later, back in the direction. My tension was only higher and I no longer felt at ease. I was also angry because I saw her swim back alone, crying, without any care from the instructor! Ridiculous! At least he could have gone swimming with her!
Our men did dive with him afterwards and had a good experience. After all, they had dived more often.
When they came back my sister-in-law asked if we now have to pay for everything since we hadn't even been under water. She asked if she could pay half for the effort and said she was really unhappy with his way of dealing !! No, he said, that is not possible, the full amount must be paid. So my sister-in-law said, fine, then a review. Okay no problem he said.
Our men were happy to pay the full amount of their own, as they had had a good experience.
I am honest and am writing this review because my sister-in-law and I were completely overwhelmed and really did not have the time to get used to the water. We are disappointed to this day! After all, we are not every day in one of the most beautiful places in the world. A huge waste of our money! For us it does not matter whether it was 1 month or 2 years ago, we often think back and our money stays away!
Particularly bad for beginners. Do not try to relieve your fear and tension, but force you to keep going, if not, you may get out of the water and there will be no diving. To then have to pay the full bill while you have not been under water for a second. All in all, the instructor took 10 minutes and together it cost us almost 200. An instructor should relieve your tension, especially for beginners!
This is our (my sister-in-law and my) experience from 2 years ago. When I think about it I get even more angry. Slightly late response, but I still want to warn beginners. Either the instructor had a bad temper or he didn't like us. Unfortunately we did not get a different impression.
