How long to complete in Sabah
First I would like to thank all of the instructors for their kindness and patience.
Before starting this course, I was kind of nervous and doubted that I could succeed to finish, but my main instructor, Surbyien, is extremely professional and patient. He is really good at understanding nervous learners and can help me through it. He makes everything extremely simple to understand while he is teaching me the skills, and each lesson is relaxed and comfortable.
A good instructor should not force you to do anything harmful; instead, they should support you through panic attacks and ensure your safety.I'm glad that I happened upon Like Scuba, a really friendly and professional diving centre.
Definitely I'll come Like Scuba Centre to learn more 😆
