**Review for Advanced Diving Certification**\n\nAfter completing my basic Open Water Certification, I was excited to get going on my Advanced Certification. I felt that the follow-through to help me progress in my scuba diving education was poor. \n\nIt seems that Groupon (and other similar deals) brought in quite an influx of beginners to Scuba Magic - not a bad thing! I still stand by their basic Open Water class. However, they were unprepared to take beginners to the next level. As I recall, it took a couple months to book my Advanced dives due to instructor availability. I felt like I was more of a nuisance even though I was a *return* customer that wasn't using a coupon deal. Regardless, once we finally got out to the lake, it was me, one of the student instructors, and another guy with a military background. Both of those guys excelled at the different skills, and it felt unsafe for me to copycat their moves and hope for the best. At one point, I was left alone in the murky darkness of the lake, not sure which way was up. I slowly brought myself to the surface, visibly upset the other guys practically ditched me to explore somewhere else. I left and didn't bother finishing the last skill (which I'd already done on a recreational dive before). \n\nThe Advanced Certification was ultimately mailed to me but I'll look elsewhere as I look to become Rescue Dive certified.\n\n**Update from Facebook Page: We have closed the location but are still offering private lessons.
