I just want to say that I am a certified Open Water diver and the Scuba Shop and Kye Leslie are to thank for that. One of my biggest fears was being underwater, I took the 4 day class. I had plenty of time to learn all I needed, what I needed was more time to get comfortable in the water than what came with the class. no problem, they were totally flexible, and yes i did have to pay an extra fee, but it was reasonable and i was taking up the instructors time and I did not mind at all.
I took twice as long as the others in the class (which was my husband and one other nice gentleman). I also had to have an extra trip to the lake and the pool, as I was having major anxiety issues. I am happy to say they were very patient, encouraging and easy to work with. I got certified, went on my trip and I actually look forward to diving now. While i don't see advanced open water in my future anytime soon, I do think that one day with this shop and lots of practice it may be a possibility.
