I have been diving for roughly 3 years and have just completed my ninth PADI course with MDC Sports. Throughout these courses I have had 5 different instructors and have always been impressed by the diverse background of the different instructors including technical deep diving, cave diving, commercial diving, and recreational diving. I was very fortunate to have instructors that could draw on this experience.
