Recommend a GUE Instructor in Tulum

[kierentec]

One more thing I'd like to mention before this thread continues to evolve tangentially. Ivo Chiarino, while newer to GUE than some of the other well known locals, was an absolutely dynamite instructor. He's young, enthusiastic, patient, kind, and I *never* saw him even glance at a clock when our days went long (despite the fact that his lovely girlfriend from the States was in town visiting). His first concern was always, what more can I do for you? And his ability to communicate the material and perform the techniques in the water was *staggering*. I want to be able to do it like *Ivo* does it.

He's a very talented guy. I will be very excited to take more courses with him in the future.

glad you guys enjoyed your trip! And you’re absolutely right about Ivo, super talented. You’re not alone in “wanting to do it like Ivo”, we all feel the same

Within GUE in order to become a fundies instructor (or any of the 'recreational' curriculum), one needs to be an active T1/C1 diver... similar with T1/C1 instructors, they need to be T2/C2 divers....

Same with UTD, after 15 years of teaching PADI it took me 4 years to teach for UTD, and dive several levels higher (tech) than what I could teach. Very high standards and it shows.
