Just did my Open Water with Kristof. Fabulous! These guys really live up to their claim and teach you at your own pace. Fast or slow, they adjust to what you are comfortable with every step along the way.
This is more than an experience. It is an adventure! I googled Scuba diving in Antigua and found this lovely company. Now of course when you are looking for things to do in your own area or another country, you want to ensure that you are going to have the best possible experience and customer service. I can say that Antigua Scuba School exceeds in both departments!
I reached out via email at first and in record time got a reply from Dianna. Now, when it comes to communicating, they go above and beyond! I reached out in January 14, 2017 and received a reply the same day from Dianna. I wanted to know about the packages they had available and she was able to provide me with detailed information on each package. My trip was scheduled for sailing week, however, I'm a little OCD when it comes to planning my trips and like to do my research and planning ahead of time so I know what to expect.
I then messaged Antigua Scuba School about a week or so ahead of my vacation and received a reply from Kristina, telling me that Dianna was away and would continue with me regarding the booking. She also mentioned that she was caught up with what Dianna and I had already discussed (this is something I greatly appreciate as not many companies read and or follow up with you immediately). I booked with Kristina and she advised that we would be in the pool and then go into the sea should I feel comfortable doing so.
The pool training was with both Kristina and Krzysztof. Prior to going into the pool, gear etc, they will go over documents that you will need to sign for safety and training! It is fun to go over and they ensure that they review it with you before you enter the pool. Please keep in mind that I am reviewing this based on the beginning course. It is not a course where you will be certified, it is literally to 'test the waters'. Once complete, they suit you up, explain each feature and get you in! Although it is the pool, I was so stoked and it was on a hot day as well! Once you go underwater in your gear you feel like a champ! I must say, one thing to remember is to pay attention to the hand signals! This school ensures that your safety comes first. They will also take pictures of you or with your own camera if you have one.
The day came for me to sail out with the school to test my skills. I HAD A BLAST! I was so terrified as it was my first time but Kristina held my hand along the way. Anytime I was nervous or needed any help, she was there to assist. She was dedicated to ensuring that I had fun and that I was safe. I did not want to go too deep so I held the line and looked underwater and went lower when I was comfortable.
Antigua Scuba School is hands down one of the best adventures I have been on yet! I want to be certified and will be coming back to complete it! If you want do deal with a place that is organized, friendly, professional and fun, choose them!
