Great Fun - Requires Good Physical Strength
Diana the instructor had great communication skills via text messages before our lesson and clear explanation throughout the experience. We all had great fun with varying success! Diana was very understanding of our abilities and was very respectful of our comfort in the water and we always felt safe. Go with the attitude to have a great time and you will, don't expect to be filming the next 'Old Spice' advert 'cause 2 hours flies by and this is a skill that requires a lot of practice. Thanks for the photos too, a great memory for us all.
