There's been quite a bit of negativity floating around here lately so I figured I might as well post something positive. The shop I work for sends out anonymous reviews after every class we teach and here is one I received today that made me feel good
BTW I'm Chris S. and yes I am tooting my horn but everyone is allowed to do that every so often aren't they
On Chris S
Chris' passion for the sport is evident and manifested in his teaching. When first meeting Chris I was a little put off by his youth. No longer than 15 minutes into the class it became apparent my misgivings were completely wrong. His masterful handling off the class certainly bespoke an attitude and maturity beyond his years. Chris made the class fun for me and I marveled at his patience with us. Even when I did not come close to performing at a satisfactory level he was encouraging, upbeat and positive as he worked with me. It is apparent he is knowledgeable and passionate and even though I could go on and on for the sake of brevity I will stop and conclude with my thanks to Chris for a wonderful experience.
On Dan, Chris L and Dwight (Assistant Instructors
Again kudos. The Gentleman were a great help and I felt more comfortable with them being there considering the size of the class. They were encouraging and positive and they will make fine instructors. Special thanks to Dan K for his special attention to an overweight, out of shape, slightly older student (namely me.) His "hand holding" and extra instruction along with helpful hints were especially appreciated.
On the store:
You gentlemen run a fine business. All of you Norb, Kevin, Ray and Chris exemplify customer service at the Nth level. All of you were concered in making sure
1) I felt comfortable
2)I knew the options
3)I understood the features
4)I knew how to use the equipment
All the hours you have spent with me in instilling a passion for the sport, informing me of the options, assisting in buying my equipment and organizing my dive trip has been appreciated. I have "voted"by buying my equipment there and refering as many people as I can to your establishment. Special thanks to Norb, for your able assistance particularly with my equipment. Your honesty concerning selection and always finding the time to talk
