We had a great time with Anoosha and their crew for the PADI Open Water Diver Course at ScubaTech Destin this June. The weather wasn't perfect, with cloudy skies and some late afternoon rain, but that didn't dampen our spirits one bit. June in Destin is usually prime time for scuba diving, with warm waters and good visibility. We kicked things off at 8:00 am, meeting up at ScubaTech Destin to get everyone geared up and ready for their underwater adventure.
Over the four-day course, we covered a lot of ground. We started with pool training on Wednesday and Thursday, getting everyone comfortable with the basics of buoyancy control. It's always fun to see new divers get the hang of it, bobbing up and down in the pool like corks until they find that sweet spot. Then on Friday and Saturday, we hit the open water for the real deal. The water conditions were great, which made for some smooth diving. We practiced drift diving techniques, letting the current do some of the work while we focused on staying together as a group.
One of the highlights was definitely the wreck diving. There's something special about seeing a big group of new divers' eyes light up when they first spot a wreck underwater. It's like a whole new world opens up for them. We worked on navigation skills around the wreck, making sure everyone could find their way back to the anchor line. By the end of the course, it was awesome to see how far everyone had come. From nervous first-timers to confident divers, the transformation over just a few days is always impressive.

Absolutely incredible experience! Savanna Cristy was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, patient, and so enthusiastic. The underwater sights were breathtaking, and she made us feel completely safe the entire time. From briefing to the actual dive, everything was handled professionally. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore the ocean with confidence and joy.
