I recently completed my SSI rEvo Extended Range Trimix course with Sara in Rab, Croatia; and it was absolutely phenomenal!

Several months prior, I reached out to Sara with inquiries about women’s rebreather diving. Her enthusiasm and expertise immediately caught me, and she graciously offered a video call to address all my queries and provide insights into the rEvo and rebreather diving in general. It was evident from the start that Sara was the instructor I wanted.
Leading up to the course, we had several calls to configure my unit and to cover theory lessons. Sara also was always attentive to any questions I had.

In Rab, we quickly connected on a personal level (which is not difficult to connect with such a gold soul :) ). Sara not only stands out for her professionalism, engagement, knowledge about diving physiology, rebreathers and the rEvo, but also for her wonderful personality.
Each day of the course was filled with the unit setup, checks, theory sessions, thorough pre-dive briefings and debriefings and after-dive-rebreather-care. Sara structured the course dives effectively and demonstrated skills clearly, making them easy to follow. She fostered an efficient learning environment, allowing me to feel my progress from dive to dive and day to day.

I felt incredibly secure throughout all the dives, and all the knowledge imparted by Sara stayed with me on every subsequent dive (still!).
After completing the course and passing two comprehensive theory exams, we had the opportunity for some fun diving together to reinforce what I had learned during the course days.
What can’t be forgotten is, that next to all the focused course time, we had the most fun during our time off and got a lot of belly aches from laughing so much (thank you for that!).

Back home, as I regularly dive my rEvo and get more and more experience on it, questions still arise from time to time, and Sara is always super eager to help me out with answers and explanations. Having a specialist like her to reach out to anytime is immensely valuable.

Choosing Sara as my MOD1 rEvo instructor was undoubtedly the best decision I could have made. Not only did I gain a wealth of knowledge from her, but I also gained a cherished friend and dive buddy whom I wouldn’t want to miss anymore.

Tack Sara, for being my instructor and friend! You are the best!
