WHAT JAMES' STUDENTS SAY

Natalie, James and Afra were amazing, Made learning to dive incredible! Couldn't speak more highly... Filled with knowledge and experience but also genuinely nice kind people always happy to a laugh! Great course.

Done a rescue course a couple of weeks ago with James as the instructor. The way in which James delivered the course was just awesome, being able to have a laugh but remain professional at all times. There was no delay in answering any questions and being able to explain things in such a way even I could understand which shows just how knowledgeable he is and how adaptable of an instructor he is. 10/10

Sam Scheske

Good morning James,

Thank you for your professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care. 

​

You optimize your time and resources to conduct and deliver the best instructional technique I have been privileged to.

​

Tasmanian Divers North, and South, should be honoured to have such a diligent, knowledgeable and charismatic young instructor with skills, knowledge and people management skills.

​

Sincerely thank you for making the Rescue Diver Course, which in my opinion is a very serious and important course, the best planned and executed course I have completed.
