Comments and Feedback

Sunshine PADI Divemasters in training participated in their ECO program for thier Divemaster course and guests of the resort took part as an additional dive after their Open Water training dives. Great way to ensure our beginner divers learn about keeping the environment clean and the need to develop more buoyancy skills to protect the environment.
