what the students have to say
I feel it is always important to get recommendations about the diving Instructor you will put your faith into to help you achieve your goals, ultimately you will never know if it will be the best method of training for you until you have tried it but it does help if you can obtain a little feedback from past students and customers so here is a few I seem to have made happy.

"Mat has a wide range of deep and challenging CCR diving experiences and is a fine
dive instructor. He is someone who has really done the dives and has a mass of real
world experience that he is able to pass on to his students. I appreciated the way
we were encouraged to ask questions and push beyond the basics to get a greater
understanding of CCR diving and develop a thoughtful and flexible approach to using
this technology".

Being my first rebreather course and even after doing lots of reading I
still was not really sure what to expect. I have only been diving OC for a few years before so still very new to the whole diving game. I was not disappointed, the diving was a completely different experience and thoroughly enjoyable.
The course was a completely different experience as well, it was intense and I learnt a lot, but that’s what I paid for so 5 stars for that, and Matts own teaching style is the best SCUBA diving training I have received, not the common rote learning style that you get accustomed to but a real understanding of the subject matter had to be acquired. I asked LOTS of questions and got LOTS of answers AND some, I think that's where Mats teaching style really comes into his own, and Matt is not afraid to tell you what he thinks, at the end of the day your life depends upon it. I came away on the first day with a head full of information, ideas and a slight headache but after sleeping on it and dreaming rebreathers, the information digestion process had been kicked started into action. I think the course was definitely over-taught but I was not complaining, at this stage I was absorbing all I could.
Matt and Davine run a great setup and will becoming back again to carry on my training when I want to get to next level in my diving career.
And don’t bother asking for a discount as you wont get one, but then at this standard he doesn’t have to, its worth the money.

In January 2006, I attended three courses with mathew within two weeks; The Drager Dophin SCR course; the AP Inspiration CCR air diluent course and the TDI O/C trimix course.
Despite being a diver since 1990, I did have a hard time but enjoyed it because these courses were a new thing to me. I earned the SCR and the CCR license and the trimix course was sustainable within the next 12 months. I am planning to come back to finish the trimix course and take some new courses this winter.
These courses were all well organized, the equipment and the facility are in excellent condition and the training is to an exceptional standard. Diving with rebreathers is fun and completely silent. The fishes come close within a few cm in front of your mask. May be one shall have more chance to encounter big and shy creature - the whale shark or the devil ray when flying with these rebreather.

Dear all,
Just a short line to say how impressed I was with the level of instruction I received at your place. Mat, you are no picnic. When you said that you only qualify people who deserve qualifying you weren't kidding. I had to work extremely hard to maintain the level of committment that you required from me. However, I feel now that I can dive safely on the unit and just need now to build up the hours. Thank you so much for an exhilerating course, it was amazing. I felt completely safe in your hands. Keep up the standards!!!

Matt has a very professionally presented and run office/shop/classroom facility to the rental equipment which was the best I have ever used. Immaculately maintained and presented, to the logistics of morning and evening movements between accommodation, Pro-Tech dive centre and on to dive boats which was slick and effortless.
Fabulous dive sites, warm water and unlimited visibility.
But, the one thing that really stood out for me was the quality of the instruction. The standard of the instruction and subsequent required standard of students is where all Instructors and dive centres should be. In my two weeks I undertook Advanced Nitrox, Deco procedures and the Extended Range courses, not only am I now a more confident and able diver, I am much safer and far more aware than before.
When I'm ready to take my Tech diving to the next level, I will be back.
