Here is what some of our past students had to say:

Hi Sherry,

Thanks again to you and Pepe (and Alex) for your time spent on teaching us how to snorkel and all the great tips and information you gave us to make us feel comfortable so we can enjoy our vacation in Curacao. We truly enjoyed our time in the pool and will be over to buy some defogging gel for our masks before we go. Playing with the camera in the pool was fun and we learned so much from Pepe. Thanks again and we be will be seeing you soon.

Thanks again,

Julie and Dale Bedore
