Funny, you chose the Dutch dive center over the Belgian one, that I prefer, on the northern part of the area. But I definitively agree that its website in English is much better, and it offer a all inclusive opportunity that can appeal to non French speaking divers.
Well, I do give a damn. Obviously a diveshop of your nationality is more likely to speak your language and used to your national diving specificities. Here, the OP, whilst from Belgium, can be from the Flemish part of the country, so probably easier communication with Harald, or from Walloon part, easier with Oli.
As I said, Harald all inclusive is easier for non French speaking divers. I just hope that the food provided has much improved since I used his op several years ago, as for me it was not on par with what the area has to offer. Some was quite Ok, some definitively Dutch. Obviously, with Oli, it is different, as he doesn't take care of that part of your trip at all.
As I already said, my experience with them was several years ago, probably five years. They can easily have changed during that period of time. I have not so nice memories of raw cucumbers sandwiches lunches in winter. Definitively more Dutch than French. But as you say, to each his own.I guess we'll agree to disagree. Monique's food was a bright spot in the land that puts foie gras on everything. So to each his own.

Then good if you found what you were looking for. Others can have different perspectives.
