I'm a Fish!
Join me and one of our other instructors, Miguel, as we take a mother diving for the first time (DSD) and daughter (certified) diving along with another buddy team. We had a wonderful encounter with a couple turtles. We never take out more than 4 divers at a time, so love the small groups! Check us out in action!

What a nice video and experience for a first time diver! -
HOWEVER - IMHO totally ruined by what appears to be the encouragement of your instructor to get the guest to touch the turtle!!.. Is that really the best thing to be "teaching" new divers??? :no:

Whatever happened to "look and don't touch"

Sorry but I will definately NOT be checking out the action with you guys!

With all due respect, our instructor, Miguel was pulling her away from the turtle and trying to prevent her from touching the turtle. So sorry you can not see that in all you infinite wisdom.

Enjoy anyways!
