I did my IDC with Jean-Luc in 2019, and his words of advice and teaching tips are still in my head today. With his help, I learned more than simply how to pass the IE - I learned how to think like an instructor. All in all, if you do your IDC with Jean-Luc, you’ll have a lot more than just an instructor certification by the end of it!

I did my IDC with Jean in 2018 and had a fantastic experience over the course of 3 weeks.  It was my highest learning experience in diving, and I am glad Jean Luc was mentoring me through it as I enjoyed his professionalism and going out of his way to discuss any questions or topics I was curious about, even if outside the curriculum.  Jean is thorough in his teaching methods and makes sure the students get it right.  Overall it was a fun, positive, and highly educational experience and would highly recommend Jean to any of my dive buddies.

I know Jean since my OWD Course in 2009. This experience and his kind of teaching ignited my passion for diving. From then on, I took every course with him up to the IDC in 2013. I would have never done this journey in my life without his contribution, inspiration and mentorship. Jean combines outstanding diving knowledge with situational empathy, trustworthiness, reliability and organizational talent you seldomly find in one person. With him you not just taking and pass a course, he makes it an experience by its own that you will never forget in your life. You will not just find a sport – you will find a diving family!

I first met Jean Luc in May 2018, I was desperately looking for a dive centre that could cater for Rebreathers. From the initial contact email with Jean Luc he was so helpful and made my trip so effortless and enjoyable. So much so, after diving with him for a week seeing his passion and knowledge for CCR’s I went back several times to complete further Tec courses. As a Tec CCR instructor myself in the UK, I cannot stress enough when enrolling in any TEC or CCR courses, it is essential you get the best instructor and Jean Luc is definitely that instructor. 

Not forgetting how welcome Jean & Cindy make all of their guests feel, they treat you like family.
