I started my Open Water course at Dive North with Sarah (my very best teacher EVER) as my instructor.
Everyone in the team is so nice and from the first day on you feel like you are on a family trip rather than on a paid dive experience. And even if someone is not your instructor and has other things to do, they are all very happy to help you with any problem or question you might have.
Therefore, I decided to take the Advanced Open Water course straight away afterwards. Among others, the best experience was the HMNZ Canterbury wreck, which is an absolutely fantastic place to dive. Guided by Dave or other crew members, the dive is tailored to your level of experience and desire - you can stay outside and make a tour on the deck or penetrate far into the dark interior.
Excellent instructors and guides, brand-new equipment, flexibility in your dives, new friends, fresh self-made pancakes and lemon cake on the boat, hot drinks before and after every dive - those are just a few of the services you are offered at Dive North.
Within my two courses Dive North has given me a solid confidence and the feeling that I know what I am doing under water. They make sure that you have the skills necessary for being a very good diver, not just a certified one.
