I met Capt. Saam back in 2004 when I needed a refresher class for my Open Water certificate. I have since continued on up thru Master Diver currently training as a Divemaster. During this time I have been in many pool and open water sessions with beginning students and have seen Saam do amazing things to keep uncomfortable students on track and safely complete their training. He has also done what other Instuctors , should but don’t always do, fail a student who should not be certified. I have heard these students, who cannot perform critical skills argue for a Certification. Saam always allows them to get extra help and/or come back for a second class. With a little patients Capt. Saam will take the time to help them become a comfortable diver. This is definitely not the kind of place that will give you a card just for showing up at the pool. I have gone diving with many people over the years who should not have been allowed to scuba diving, a danger both to themselves and their buddy. Not one of them was ever certified by Saam.
P.S. When my Daughters want to be certified, they are going to Saam.
