Lewis and Adam head into the water
under the supervision of UTD Instructor
Mario Perez Garcia.
say the confidence I had quickly disappeared and I slipped back into not wanting to do the course.
My buddy Lewis convinced me to carry on with day 2, and with better weather conditions, a
greater understanding of diving and a confidence boost from Mario, I quickly got used to the
equipment and the water and loved it. Day 3 and 4 were a breeze with practising the basic 6 and
learning to navigate.
I had a fantastic experience thanks to Rivemar, UTD and specifically Mario. I’m not sure I would
have been able to complete the course if it weren’t for his enthusiasm and understanding.

Mario Responds:
If there is one thing better than teaching an Open Water course, it is to teach an Open Water
course to someone who is completely scared. Seeing the evolution in and out of the water is
simply ... exciting, Adam was one of these students and he did great, I hope he continues on
the diving path showing everyone how is possible to do something that “blocks” your mind.
