Robert is a good teacher but if you are claustrophobic like me and can't complete the course there is no refund. Also be aware the instruction takes place 90 miles from Tampa (two trips) where literally 100+ other divers are competing for space. Seemed odd to me since Tampa is full of lakes and bays to dive from. Plenty of gas and time to get to their preferred spot. Also Robert was twice 40 minutes late and once 30 minutes early so be ready for erratic scheduling. I don't want to leave negative review since I like Robert (and claustrophobia is my own fault) and he fit me in during an off course, but hopefully others aware the shop is not willing to even refund $100 of their $480 fee if you can't complete the dives, even when like me, I did not use the but 1/4 of one of the two tanks. Sad really. I could have gone elsewhere and paid piecemeal saving a lot of money after finding I could not finish.
