“I had almost talked myself into giving up and driving home.  Connie came and started coaching me on how to work through my issues one at a time, until I had no issues, and I could focus on going underwater.   I’m so appreciative of her as a diving instructor and a coach, as well as being someone who organizes some really fun dive trips.  If you’re looking for someone to help you with your certification dives, I strongly recommend Connie Maxwell and the Florida springs.
