Customer Feedback
Here is just some of the feedback we have had from recent customers.

"Having won the Power Boat Course at the raffle, I was looking forward to the opportunity of driving a very fast power boat, but I didn't really know what else the day would consist off.
    Crystal Marine who had provided the prize ensured that safety was a paramount feature and you wore a life jacket throughout the day.
    I learnt how to steer the boat at high speeds, turn safely, pick up a mooring buoy, and berth the boat.
    The speed was exhilarating, and the fact that I earned a R.Y.A. Powerboat level 1 qualification just added to the brilliant time.  
    I would recommend it, as its well worth learning the skills to safely boat.

"Having spent time on the water previously I had high expectations for doing my RYA Powerboat level 2, over two days I learnt to manoeuvre the boat at high speed and low speed which is surprisingly more difficult than I expected, my instructors spent time ensuring that I understood everything and made the whole experience fun and knowledgeable especially when it came to "Bob" the Man Over Board buoy.
    We did low speed turning and high speed 'S' turns the hardest part of the course for me was 'holding off a point', we did this with one of the marker buoys just outside the harbour you have to use forward, reverse, the wind, and the current to try and keep the boat in the same spot, or at least try to.

    All in all I had a fantastic two days with Crystal Marine and would recommend doing the course you learn so much and get the opportunity to get a ICC which is similar to a drivers license but for boats."

"Having already done my Powerboat level 2 with crystal marine I opted to do my DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) with them also, we started bright and early at 9am with coffee and a chat about the equipment how it all works.
    After the initial briefing I was shown how to
set up the equipment correctly and safely we then drove to Aphrodite's beach and began from the shore at kneeling depth doing skills such as clearing my mask what to do if I lose my regulator (the bit you breathe through) and how to share air with another person in the event you run out.
    After doing these skills we swam out to about 4meters depth and began looking at the seabed and all the life it supports. Unfortunately we didn't see any turtles but all in all it was a great experience and one I hope to repeat time and time again, to con a phrase 'It's a whole new world'."

"I came to Latchi Harbour with an interest in boats and diving, It was recommended I visit Jason and Katherine at Crystal Marine for some advice on which courses would be beneficial to me.
    The first courses I tackled were the R.Y.A.
Powerboat Level 1 and 2. I found these very interesting and helpful for day to day manoeuvres in and around the harbour, from general safety checks, parking along side other boats, turning a boat on the spot and mooring skills.
    I also was taught rope work such as which knots would be best suited to power boating
along with flags buoys and navigation skills. On the seconded day I was taken out of the harbour into the deeper open sea to learn high speed manoeuvres, such as man over board, U turns and S turns. All in all I would highly recommend this course to anyone as it is great for first timers or if you simply need to brush up your previously learnt skills."
"Following on from my powerboat course i later did my D.S.D. (Discover Scuba Diving) this I found really is the starting point for getting into diving. This course entailed safety checks on out diving kit and advice on how to dive safely and comfortably.
    After being briefed we entered the sea from the beach, there we learned the safety skills from equalizing, to emptying our mask of water while submerged and the basic safety hand signals.
    I've now done 2 courses with Crystal Marine and seem to have the bug for more dives and more qualifications!!! the staff at the centre all seemed welcoming and extremely helpful through out."
