    positive review  Amazing! They’re such a strong team and their will to educate others and prepare them for real life after a course is absolutely incredible. Jo and Angel are both very strong people and they really know what they’re doing. They give you everything that they are during the courses (even if you don’t realize it). I took my IDC with them. The course is intense (and a bit stressful) but now that I’ve had a little time to digest all of the information I feel like nobody else could have prepared me better. Thank you Go Pro Family ♥️

  • positive review  Increíble experiencia! Muy contenta con el curso de IDC, realmente fue un salto de aprendizaje. La experiencia y dedicación de Jo y Ángel, llevan a cada alumno a un máximo nivel. El curso fue muy completo, abordando todas las áreas que involucran a un instructor, con un enfoque que resalto, de formar buenos profesionales mas allá de la examinación. Esto hizo que además llegáramos con confianza al momento de la examinación. Destaco la entrega y claridad con la que Jo da sus clases teóricas, estando siempre en todos los detalles. Agradezco su trabajo en el curso y haberlo podido realizar con ellos, sin duda recomiendo mucho.

    positive review  If you want to be successful on your IDC and MSDT this is most definitely the center for it. They teach about 80 candidates per year and only had one fail in the last 3 years. Their dedication to make you succeed is exemplary. They are very well organized, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable. Bull shark dive (in season) and the cenotes dives are unique and amazing. I am now very proud to be part of the Go Pro Family. Thank you Angel, Jo, and Moises.

  • positive review  Hello world! Guess what? I’m a scuba instructor now! And its all thanks to these fine folks at the GoPro Family. The Instructor Development Course that I took with them was quite the experience. I was one of eight instructor candidates for their course in Mahahaul, Mexico. No two of us in the group were from the same country, so I had an incredible time getting to know people from places such as Colombia, the Czech Republic, Brazil, England, France and more. I was quite nervous given how intense I heard that the IDC process could be, but even on our worst days during the training process, our course director, Jo never showed any doubt that we would pass the examination. In the end, every single candidate in my group came out the other side as instructors. If you are are thinking of becoming a dive instructor, I cannot more highly recommend this company for the Instructor Development Course. You don’t have to take my word for it though. Just walk in to any dive shop on the Yucatan Peninsula and ask about the GoPro Family. You will hear nothing but good things about them all the way from Playa del Carmen to Mérida.

    positive review  I did the IDC with the GoPro Family and felt that I was in very good hands. Jo, Angel and Moy are very professional and passionate teachers and divers. As a student, you get a very individual, patient and sometimes unorthodox training that will prepare you for your working life and the exams excellently.

    positive review  The GoPro Family is simply the best. The dedication and passion that Angel, Jo, and Moy have is contagious. They truly care about you as a candidate and they want you to succeed. They’ll do everything in their power to make that happen. Although there was a lot to learn, there were also a lot of laughs and good times with both lasting friendships and memories made. If you’re serious about becoming an OWSI (or interested in any of the other courses GP offers) and you’re willing to put the work in, look no further than the family!

    positive review  Recibí un excelente entrenamiento durante mi IDC. Angel, Jo y Moises son muy profesionales y se aseguraron en todo momento de que entendieramos y completaramos con exito todas las secciones del curso. Su enfoque principal es el de hacer instructores, mas que solo certificar instructores. Todos los candidatos de mi grupo llegamos muy preparados al IE, con un excelente entrenamiento y 3 profesionales que fueron nuestros coach de principio a fin.

    positive review  I recently completed my PADI IDC with The Go Pro Family, Angel Navarro Moya, Jo Armitage, and Moy Mejia. From my first meeting with Angel to the end of the course I knew I had found very experienced trainers, who will be supporting my continuing education as long as I live in the area. It is without any hesitation I recommend the Go Pro Family and I am looking forward to my next training opportunity.

    positive review  I completed the February IDC with the GoPro family and stuck around for another week and a half to finish Full Cave. If anyone is interested in doing either of these courses, these are the people to do them with! Angel, Jo and Moy were incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated. They not only ensured that my classmates and I were successful, but also made both courses a ton of fun. I hope to be back soon!
