Our adventure started months ago working with Blondy over email and a couple calls to begin our diving journey. Blondy was wonderful to work with and so helpful! When we made it to Kauai our open water certification dives began the next day- and after a wild and frustrating time getting to Kauai I misread (and 100% my fault because their emails are clear to read) our start time and our wonderful Dive Instructor Savanna waited for us through being 1. Late. and 2. going to the wrong location (again- I'm blaming my exhausted brain after a stressful journey to Kauai. Not their communication which was 10/10).
THEN the first skills I thought I'd tap out. I couldn't calm down and I thought I'd have to quit. Savanna was so insanely patient with me. I feel like I added at hour to our time because I kept panicking. Savanna has the patience of a saint. We made it through day 1.
Day 2 of dives went well until I again almost panicked at the bottom and Savanna kept me down and tried to help calm my breathing. I was able to finish my skills even when I was ready to tap right out, AGAIN. absolutely the most patient human ever. I had my already certified daughter with me and she was able to dive with me initially and then move over and dive with Clay who had a small group of certified divers and she said it was awesome. Clay took her to see some cool sites, she had such a good time that the next day of dives she completely ditched us old ladies to hang out with the cool kids to dive.
Our 2nd day of dives ended up getting moved around because of an incoming storm- our safety was Bubbles' top priority and you could tell. They wanted to get you out there so they kept in contact to get you on the water when it was safe. When we were able to get out there for our final day of open water dives one of our party was having issues inflating and deflating their BCD (to be clear- user error, the equipment Bubbles put us in worked great!) and again Savanna showed so much patience and worked with us to get us certified safely.
To tie this all up I a nice little bow- I will 100% recommend Bubbles Below to anyone looking to get Certified and to go dive with them if they're already certified. I look forward to coming back and going out with them again!
