Diving Leisure Leeds - Rescue Course Testimonial

In the last 12 months I’ve been bitten by the scuba diving bug, in no small part due to Alex Varnals and his team at Diving Leisure Leeds. The toughest, but way the most satisfying course, was the Rescue Course I did in June 2008 run by Mike Fell. I really feel I’ve achieved something and it has been a real boost to my confidence.

Hi Alex & Kat,

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a big thank you for everything you've done in teaching me everything prior to my trip to Bali.

I must say that you're a well organised team which put me at ease right from the start.  You provided me straight talking advice when we first came in to look at a couple of masks, which led me on to taking my open water referral with you.

Can you please pass on my thanks to Chris, he's a great instructor and a credit to the team.  He set the pace just right for me and went through things when I didn't quite get it - he's a good laugh but knows when to be serious when it matters.

I'll try and take some pictures while I'm diving in warm waters and if any of them are worthy of your gallery I'll be happy to forward them on.  Feel free to put this onto your testimonials on your website should you want to.

Kind regards and see you soon,

Hi Alex

I originally booked a PADI Open Water Course with Diving Leisure to be followed with a referral out in Egypt for the open water dives.  All the instructors were so professional and extremely patient - me being a very nervous student - I always felt that I could go at my own pace and was never rushed no matter how many times it took me to complete a skill, making each pool session enjoyable and fun. The confidence they gave me made me change my plans and I cancelled the referral and completed the course here in England with the 'TEAM'. 

Learning with Diving Leisure was the best decision I made.  I have already booked my Advanced Open Water Diver and Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty with them!!

Regards,

Jane

Thanks to Alex, Vanessa and all at DLL for helping me push my diving knowledge and dive skills to a new level. I only came to Diving leisure Leeds to buy a mask but got drawn in to doing more diving and expanding my dive skills. Alex always shows passion about diving and how fun it should be. I will be aiming for Instructor level with DLL and may be further.
 
This is the most professional team of divers I have seen and anyone who learns with them gets the best teaching team anywhere in the UK.
 
Thanks Again

Hello all at Diving Leisure Leeds

Just a few lines to say thank you so much for your friendly, enthusiastic and professional tuition during my PADI Advanced Open Water course.  I received lots of advice and help from Cathy, Nick, Alex, Vanessa and Iain.  Especially thanks for Mike’s patience in keeping me the right way up whilst setting up my buoyancy.

Congratulations on the new web site.  Looking forward to more fantastic dives this summer and hopefully heading towards a Divemaster qualification with Diving Leisure Leeds.

Thanks again

Clint

All at Diving Leisure Leeds,

A big thank-you to all at Diving Leisure Leeds for helping me to complete my Open Water dive course. Everyone I met throughout the theory and practical sessions were wonderful, patient and full of encouragement. Alex made the theory sessions fun, informal and interesting. 

A special thank-you to Cathy Preen my instructor, to Vanessa Harker for being my buddy, and to Nick, Dave and Luke for watching over me. I was terrified on my first Open Water day, but Cathy and Vanessa were very professional and helped me to relax and gain confidence.

I would recommend anyone who wants to learn to dive to contact the team at Diving Leisure Leeds.

Regards,

Dear Alex,

I would like to take this opportunity in thanking you for a great course.  Please pass on my thanks to Nick, Vanessa and Cathy for the three fantastic dives at Dosthill.

Although I was a little apprehensive about the first Deep Dive, your team was great and made the dive so easy, relaxed and so much fun.  The following two dives were fantastic and the multi-level dive was out of this world.

I hope your business goes from strength to strength, because as PADI says diving is fun, but with your team it was more than fun and I can not wait to get back in the water....

Kindest regards,

Paul
