If you are looking for a coach with a calm presence and sincere patience, it is coach Rogemar's forte. There are a lot of coaches who are good in their skills but only few who are great in coaching itself. I learned so much. I am truly satisfied with my fun dive experience. Thank you, coach. More dive to go! 🥂🐢
