Karin's Latest course in Khao Lak

Here's a great picture of Karin teaching her students how to descend while in the swimming pool.

Most of our courses are small and personal and this one was no different.
With only two students in the academic section and three students in the ocean.



Here is Simon doing a backroll into the pool at the very beginning of his skills.







This is the buddy check - testing that both regulators are working in case of emergency...



Here's Aree, Simon and Karin just about to submerge for the first time.
