I spent both a week in Aug 2021 and a week in Oct 2021 at Amoray to obtain my PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diver certifications. In short, the staff here are awesome, the boat is well equipped and safe, the dive shop is just what you need, and the accommodations relative to the stay at the resort are very simple and adequate. The staff will absolutely go above and beyond to accommodate both your stay and the adventure, be it a simple snorkel trip, a shallow water reef dive, a deep water wreck dive, and/or dive training. I trained directly with Captain G, a career Navy Veteran with a warm personality and natural born leader qualities, First Mate Aaron (the sacrificial rescue victim) who is a young man on a mission from God to both serve and save the ocean. Instructor David, a dedicated U.S. Army Vet who has a passion for SCUBA and teaching it through his knowledge and experience, and Captain Nicki who is a fairly new Captain to Amoray but experienced former U.S. Coast Guard Captain. And not to mention many other instructors and support staff who were around to assist. Last but not least, Cynthia and Anna who were always in constant communication with me as needed via phone and email in planning a week worth of practical ocean training dives, pool training, Instructor schedules, etc. The result was a well planned out schedule conveniently inserted in an email that I could easily open and view on my smart phone. The staff even had the foresight to catch my mistake of intending to fly home before my minimum number of hours after my deep dive. My intentions are to use Amoray to obtain my Dive Master in the near future. In summation, I highly recommend Amoray Dive Resort. If you have questions, simply pick up the phone and talk to Cynthia or Anna. They will steer you in the right direction.
