Student Testimonials

I just wanted to thank Tom, Andy and Dan for helping me make a career out of diving. I attended Horizon Divers IDC in September 2008 and I strongly recommend checking them out if you’re interested in becoming a Padi Instructor. The dive operation at Horizon is an excellent operation to model your own business from. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and they have a genuine interest in seeing their students succeed. Tom is an outstanding course director who brings his personal business experiences into the class room to help you create a successful business. Tom conducts his class in the most constructive manner so that you get the most out of every lesson. After speaking with candidates from other programs, I am confident that I made the right choice going with Horizon Divers. Their attention to making you successful in the dive industry and not just in passing the instructor exams puts them at the head of the class. I HIGHLY recommend these guys for all of your continuing education needs in the diving industry.

Sincerely,

I just wanted to write and tell you how happy I have been with my instructor training I have taken with your establishment. Course Director Tom has been great. His personal attention and experience with IDC's and PADI I.E's was obvious during my instructor training. I was at the I.E. with candidates who had taken the IDC from other Dive Shops and it was obvious Tom had me much more prepared than the other students I was with. Local shops had told me an IDC in a week was a terrible idea and tried to convince me to make it a 6 month process. That is crazy. I think I learned more by reinforcing the learning constantly over the week and wouldn't have retained as much spreading it over a long period. I felt confident and happy with his instruction going into the I.E., but after going through the process, was even more elated as I knew I was more prepared than anyone else. I am coming back to you guys to do my Staff so I can continue using your awesome classroom and facilities, and learn more from Course Director Tom.
