text: Review for Advanced Diving CertificationnnAfter completing my basic Open Water Certification I was excited to get going on my Advanced Certification I felt that the followthrough to help me progress in my scuba diving education was poor nnIt seems that Groupon and other similar deals brought in quite an influx of beginners to Scuba Magic not a bad thing I still stand by their basic Open Water class However they were unprepared to take beginners to the next level As I recall it took a couple months to book my Advanced dives due to instructor availability I felt like I was more of a nuisance even though I was a return customer that was not using a coupon deal Regardless once we finally got out to the lake it was me one of the student instructors and another guy with a military background Both of those guys excelled at the different skills and it felt unsafe for me to copycat their moves and hope for the best At one point I was left alone in the murky darkness of the lake not sure which way was up I slowly brought myself to the surface visibly upset the other guys practically ditched me to explore somewhere else I left and did not bother finishing the last skill which I would already done on a recreational dive before nnThe Advanced Certification was ultimately mailed to me but I will look elsewhere as I look to become Rescue Dive certifiednnUpdate from Facebook Page We have closed the location but are still offering private lessons Contact via facebook or email garymoyeryahoocom for pricing and to schedule training
