Comments	I took the Solo Diver certification course from Lucia Podlipny, co-owner of TDS, and though I'm experienced, a Divemaster for 27 years, and have been solo diving for 15 years, I learned a lot. Lucia is a gifted instructor, supportive while maintaining high standards, and under her instruction, I improved my skills. My mental game is improved, my understanding of the risks and mitigations of solo diving is more informed, and I feel both more competent and more humble and realistic. I highly recommend this operation. I also observed the care and work Lucia, co-owner Zack, and colleague Bryan put into other students (one was doing Divemaster). These people are real pros, and no matter how experienced you are, you will learn a lot.
