Sorry I'm late to the party. Yes, my brother and nephew were certified by Arin and Co back in 2013 and they were fantastic. It was my nephews HS grad gift, my brother wanted to tag along. My nephew was a natural, my brother not so much,. Arin and Kevin worked with him one on one several times, got him the attention he needed. I went up to Dutch on their check out weekend, did my own dives but hung out with them between dives. Good time, safety conscious group. They also have a local dive club. PM me if you have any other questions.
