Comments and Feedback
Very proud of the team. They did this survey during their Advanced Open Water Course. Fortunately the visibility (5-10m) was much better than last time, so we could spot small pieces of glass and metal more easily. We saw less plastic, as we collected most of it in May. I encourage instructors to include the DAD dive into the AOW course. My students made significant progress in mastering their buoyancy and they were very proud of what they did. They now think as Project Aware Divers :-)
To Project Aware Team: thank you for this program. It makes our teaching even more interesting.
