What do others say about Eric....?
"The idc in Manzanillo which I have recently completed under the guidance of Eric has given me the confidence to be more than just a PADI Instructor. The way the course was conducted was continually challenging, so that I felt prepared for any eventuality that may occur when confronted with real students. Light hearted at times, the atmosphere and cameraderie that was instilled in the candidates made us feel part of a cohesive team, guided towards the eventual goal of becoming Instructors. Thank you for helping me take the first step into my PADI Instructor Career."
